You were okay with Saddam Hussein killing tens of thousands of innocent civilians? I find this argument pretty illogical. Having problems with the war is fine, but this is a pretty weak argument IMHO. I'm not going to make a case for or against the war. At this point nobody is on the fence--although I hope everybody wants it turn out succesfully. However, this statement is right out of the left-wing fringe playbook. Playing to emotion rather than logic.
It's seems pretty hypocritical to me that many of the same people that make this argument also want us to stop the genocide in Sudan. People in both political parties are very inconsistent on this issue. It's really rather disingenuous.
