There was no legal or moral justification for attacking and occupying Iraq. The propaganda used to raise false support for the aggression was a flimsy patchwork of lies and distortions. Attacking Iraq and Afghanistan has made them both much, much worse places to live.
So I suppose Saddam hanging people by their pinking toes for 48 hours and then disemboweling them in front of their families is no moral reason? Having fathers kill their sons who MIGHT have been traitors to the state and then making them kiss Saddams hand and smile and swear to Saddam is no moral reason? Gas chambers, mass graves, secret police, and genocide against the Kurdish people is no moral reason? Or how about this one hombre... Saddam was a physco path that had no business running that country. I'll guaran-damn-tee that any solider who has to uncover any one of these things, is going to want to stay in that country.
I'd say we made those places better. People can now go to the center of the streets and yell "# SADDAM" or "# THE TALIBAN".
I have one thing to yell "# YOU!"
