It is hard to say what might have happened, I don't know. What I do know is what he did while in power, and his defiance to UN mandates. Both were unacceptable in my opinion.

If you are finally worried about Iraqi lives you should note that it is estimated that over a million Iraqi's have died because of the Iraq war, far more than would have died under Saddam.

How many deaths is Saddam responsible for? How many would he have been willing to kill? I don't know. However, I don't think we are responsible for deaths of all the Iraqis who have died. The people who have murdered innocent people are responsible for the people they have murdered. Even if what we did is considered wrong, that does not justify the actions of terrorists. Our military has done the best they can to minimize civilian casualties.
