I agree on all points. I brought it up as an example of how the world as changed since 9-11. Many people (even here in Australia) think that invading Iraq was a reasonable thing to do because Saddam Hussain was such a nasty piece of work. I agree that Saddam was a piece of sh*t but burning through 300,000 people on the way to destroying 1 man is... well, it's madness IMO. Either that or its an example of one group of people thinking of another group of people as not really being 'people'.
