U.S. lowers it's flag.

The reported estimates of the amount of people killed under Saddam Hussein are close to 1,000,000. That's not a good enough reason to have taken him out? You should go to Iraq and see how the people live there. Then you should go look at the palaces he had. Huge compounds most with either Olympic sized pools, with lakes, on a river or all 3. They were lavishly furnished and decorated. Gold everywhere. Hand carved wooden walls, marble from floor to ceiling. Saddam and his clan lived like kings stealing all of their countries wealth, while the rest of the people lived in mud huts.

One could make the same argument comparing the White House, and other homes that our Politicians live in, to the way many US Citizens live.

That should be of no concern to our Gov. and is certainly no reason to invade another country and overthrow the regime.
Our military is not supposed to be a world wide, wealth redistribution force.

We should mind our own business, and confront our own issues.
