Saddam was Right and Bush was Wrong

Was it worth it to their families?
FOREIGN ENTANGLEMENTS
The reality of the situation is that the US Government - from Bush Sr., to Bill Clinton, to G.W - decided on its own that Saddam should no longer be the president of Iraq. This is the very thing that the Constitution and International Law were designed to prevent.
America was never threatened by Saddam Hussein. Iraq had absolutely no capability to attack the United States, and never was there indicated a desire to do so.
In short, American "freedom" was never threatened by Iraq, or Saddam Hussein. So how can anyone consider an unprovoked attack on another nation as "defending freedom"? The absurdity of such lies will ring on for centuries.
It's not America's calling to choose who should or should not be in charge of another country. But, obviously, the Iraqi war was worth it to George Bush.
If George wants to donate his own money to revolutionary movements in foreign countries, he has the right as a free person to do so. If he wants to quit his job (wishful thinking) and go fight in one of those countries, he has a right to do so as well.
But, he has absolutely no constitutional authority to use American money and American lives to fight for "freedom" in other countries.
So, in order to continue war, the lies must continue.
TRUTH AND LIES
The result of all this was that the "Butcher of Baghdad" was right and that the "President of the United States" was wrong. Saddam Hussein was given the death penalty for "war crimes," while George Bush and his accomplices in our two-party Congress continue to rule over us.
We're living in sad times, indeed, times when you can trust what Saddam Hussein says more than your own government.
In practice, being honest or lying doesn't matter. It's might that's right.
And that's the sad truth.
