The health and welfare of billions of people depends on the free flow of oil. Saddam Hussain sought to get control of roughly half the worlds oil, and threatened to withhold supplies unless his various terms and conditions were met. Throw in his documented effort to become a world power through weapons of mass destruction, and the guy became a real problem. Play nice, or get squashed like a bug under a big stick. Saddam became a bug. Well, a bug at the end of a rope.
So, the true immoral people are those who would have let him do that, so that hundreds of millions of people would have been put in harms way, and made to suffer.
Why is it that so many supported such an evil person?
he was pretty well contained in his box prior to the invasion I don't think any of those fears were realistic, especially after the decimating of his military during the Gulf War.
