aDCBeast, I think you are nitpicking to prop up a very dubious viewpoint and you are missing the point. Saddam was without question a sociopathic Stalin-type brutal dictator. Without question, he had put to death many good people, including children. Again, people like you only point out the little evidence that supports your theories and ignore the overwhelming majority of evidence that goes against your theories. In stastics terms, this would be called making judgements based on "outliers" while ignoring the modal or most frequent data. Obviously this will lead to extremely flawed determinations. This is typical of people who have an agenda and are determined to see what they want to see in the world. This can hardly be called an objective viewpoint. Just like people who point out the rare events of accidental bombing deaths while ignoring the thousands of lives saved by the elimination of a sociopathic regime.
