Um, I'm missing the part about how Saddam was somehow a threat to our freedom. WMDs? Sorry, those weren't found. Nukes? No evidence of that found, either. Come to think of it, I don't recall him threatening our country, much less attacking it. So how exactly was he a threat to our "freedom"?

Granted, Saddam was a mass-murdering fruit loop who shouldn't have been running a country, but I don't see how his little dictatorship threatened our country.

I also cannot help but wonder whether Iraq's oil reserves (http://www.brookings.edu/views/op-ed/fellows/luft20030512.htm) had anything to do with the decision to invade. Now that we control the country, that means big big money for various petroleum companies who can set up shop there. Like say... Dick Cheney's old employer, Haliburton (http://www.brookings.edu/views/op-ed/fellows/luft20030512.htm).
