I've spent a lot of time with people in the Middle East who've been injured or lost family and friends to US aggression or aggression fully supported and funded by the US. Again the standard argument I'm getting is that the US alternative to Saddam was the only choice in the world.
The problem is no one even thought to play the race card. No one thought to ask the IRAQIS what they might like to see as an end to Hussein's rule. Perhaps that's not the best way to look at it though. No one in the US cared enough to even think to ask them or consider the results for them of this war. Remember, the lead up to this war was all about you, not the Iraqis. Don't tell me you suddenly care now about daughters being raped and families being murdered.
It's a lot easier to live in a bubble in the US and dictate policy for a nation you have no clue about. You refuse to understand the mentality of a people currently under occupation, regardless of what they had before. You must be very comfortable.
