I can't stand these people who think war in this situation is justified when there was no just cause yet given.

Whats insane are your figures. Where did you generate 10,000? Is that how high you can count, or is that the population of your home town? If you can give an unbiased tally that is above or at 10,000 then I retract my statements.
There are reasons we went to war, them being Saddam has killed millions and possessed the capability to kill millions more.

Never did anything wrong worth mentioning in world opinion.
He didn't invade Kuwait, Kuwait invited him.
He never had WMD, the world and the UN made those stories, reports, and documentations up, even before and after the 1st Gulf War.
Those mass graves steadily being found and dug up today were not from his doing.
The Kurds are liars.
The Shi'ites are liars.
The Sunni are lairs.
He treated everyone with kindness and mercy.
The sanctions were illegial.
He was really a swell guy and should be put back into his position of authority.
The US and Coalition should repay all the war damage caused within 'his' country.
Reparations should be payed.
Saddam is the man and is the man that Iraq needs back today.

Simple, U.S. taxpayers that support the war can pay for it if they like. I am tired of paying for the benefit of people of foreign lands... I need to ensure my money goes to the people of my own motherland first. And what money is left over, then can go over to a foreign nation probably.

For the record this enlightened poster sent me this as a U2U and I am suprised to see he would publicly post such crap.
Two sites are made by foreign peace activists and the third is a very shady conspiracy site.
Anything else I would want to add Mr. EXone has already touched on.

A year after the war began Iraqi civilians are still being killed every day. Over 10,000 Iraqi civilians are estimated to have been killed since 18 March 2003 as a direct result of the military intervention in Iraq, either during the war or during the subsequent occupation. The figure is an estimate as the authorities are unwilling or unable to catalogue killings. "We don't have the capacity to track all civilian casualties," US Brigadier General Mark Kimmitt told Reuters in February.
Asked about the report of 600 dead, Marine Lt. Col. Brennan Byrne said: "What I think you will find is 95% of those were military age males that were killed in the fighting."
"The Marines are trained to be precise in their firepower .... The fact that there are 600 goes back to the fact that the Marines are very good at what they do," he said.

Can you now post some reliable links to back up your claim that Saddam killed millions?
Since the regime fell in April 2003, U.S. and international forensics teams have searched for evidence of the scale and scope of the Baathist regime's human rights abuses. As of this date, there are more than 200 mass gravesites in Iraq. Some estimates place the number of victims of the regime at 300,000 to one million. Most gravesites are believed to contain the bodies of Shiite Muslims, as well as Kurds killed in the post-1991 war uprisings against Saddam Hussein.
Since Saddam�s Baath Party seized power after a military coup in 1968, the regime has slaughtered nearly 2 million Iraqis, this is not an exaggeration, it is real, but the irony is that facts in Iraq are stranger than fictions.
