Hey, weren't women routinely raped during Saddam's rule? Wasn't HE the evil bastard that tortured and/or murdered anyone that would oppose him?
The US created this mess, sure. But at least the US got rid of a murderous bastard by doing that.
It *seems* like you prefer security over freedom. Well, Hitler's Germany was secure, Stalin's Russia was secure, and Saddam's Iraq was secure too. Most people could walk around without too much trouble, as long as they were weren't suspected of anything.
I firmly believe that this problem of security will be temporary. If the US helps the Iraqi people create a stable country, this whole mess will be a thing of the past. If the US leaves before that happens, all hell will break loose; after this, there will be stability again, perhaps without the freedom Iraqis might otherwise have had.
(and no, this use of "Hitler" was functional. It is not Godwin's law...
