Since we couldn't then, and still haven't now, taken out Al Queda, we went after Hussein. Do you ever get the feeling he was, and still is, just a scapegoat?
Yeah. I thought he was a scapegoat when we first went into Iraq because I believed all the hoopla about there not being any weapons. He probably was a scapegoat then.
My opinion changed when I heard about his prisons and rape-torture rooms and the mass graves.
I'm one of those people who rarely, if ever trusts what the government tells me. So, when Bush said that Iraq was affiliated with Al Queda, I said, "Yeah, right! You just want to go after Hussein because he tried to have your daddy killed." But, after seeing everything I have on the news (and heard on the radio), I've changed my mind about him (Hussein).
I still don't necessarily believe that he had WMDs. But, a man who would torture his people that way should be removed from power. And, there are Iraqis who are happy about our removing him.
