I think you misunderstood me. By "doing nothing" I don't mean about just
Saddam. I mean every dictator, even the ones the US is friendly toward. Untill
all of the people of the world are free from tyranny, (including but not
limited to US and Israeli tyranny as well, Scott) there will never be world
peace. We could stick our head in the sand and pretend that the 'bad people'
don't exist, but until we (the collective we, as in anyone who values freedom)
do something nothing will ever change for the better. I happen to think freedom
is worth fighting for. If that makes me a crazy war-monger in some people's
eyes then so be it.
