Well let's look at it this way, of moral principle. Saddam a man who is directly responsible for the deaths of millions would still be in power if it were up to the French and German.

i thought that one of the questions that willravel asked is, is this freedom? you admit that the specifics of their freedom will be decided in the next year... are they truly free?!? is their freedom being deferred? if so, is that in itself freedom?
