Saddam played a balancing act over WMDs. He needed Iran to believe he had them as protection against an invasion from them. Unfortunately for him the ploy worked too well and the US invaded. Seems to me tens of thousands of Iraqis were killed under Saddam. Interesting how you value US lives as more important than those of other nations. Where's the equality?
Even the most rediculously forgiving body counts place 100,000 dead Iraqis at our feet. Other estimates go up over a million.
I think it is pretty clear what we have done for Iraq.
Up over a million? That is ridicolous.the true estimate is around 100K and that is sad, but the truth is that outside of a small percentage of those who were collateral damage most of those killed were taking arms up against the USA, I'm so sorry that you feel the US military should not kill those who take arms against them, but that is the reality of war.
As for the good we have done, there are 30M people in Iraq and and by most estimates less than a million of them actively supported Saadam and resisted the US's ousting him from power. So we in effect rescued 29M +/- people from a person they did not wish to be held hostage by. That's pretty noble.
