I do understand how muslims would want a genocidal tyrant to remain in power. And then clap over it.
What's your excuse?

I agree. It would be incredibly silly to propose building another religious site in the heart of the Islamic world. Almost as silly as proposing building a mosque in the tiny Vatican, and almost as mean spirited as building a mosque on the ruins of another religions holiest site.You can still build mosques in Italy. Comparing the Vatican with Saudi Arabia is a joke, comparing the Vatican with Mecca is more apt.
I don't think the Americans and allies should have set foot in Iraq in the first place. There were no WMDs in Iraq, and there were no terrorists like al-Qaeda in Iraq while Saddam Huessein was in power.
I dislike Hussein a lot, because he was a butcher of his own people, but at the very least, he kept the al-Qaeda out of Iraq, because he doesn't trust them and he didn't want to share power with dangerous enemies, like bin Laden and his gang.
Thet US-led invasion in Iraq and the removal of a dictator, had caused a power vacuum, only caused more problems than keeping the dictator in power. The sectarian violences escalated between Shiites and Sunni, all leaders and political factions were corrupted and governing the country were ineffective, and terrorists that weren't in Iraq before, roaming freely, and killing at will, leave the allies stuck in this land for over a decade, trying to fix something that apparent can't be fixed.
And now a new form of terrorists have come and killing civilians, and the current leader and government can't do anything about it.
Sorry, Chev, but George Bush Junior, left a terrible mess in Iraq, because of his incompetent strategy, and holding old grudges against Saddam. Bush shouldn't have fought another war, when nothing had been resolved Afghanistan and the al-Qaeda were still operating during his 2 terms in office. Bush didn't fix anything, the freedom you think the US has won for the Iraqis was nothing but mirage of his delusion.
And worse still, Bush completely and moronic disband the entire Iraqi police and armed forces, allowing lawlessness run ramparts for weeks and the terrorists could cross into Iraq freely. By the time, he tried to recruit the Iraqis again, the damages have already been done. He and his military advisors were complete morons.
And his two wars nearly brought his own country to its knees with bankruptcy and mismanagement of his administration, which Obama still have to fix.

Pretty much, ssainhu. Bush started a war to finish off what his father started. Obama made things worse by pulling out of the china shop after all the china had been broken. The events happening now shouldn't surprise anyone."Dubya" went into Iraq to avenge what his father couldn't finish, plain and simple. Then we pulled out and left lunatics to run amuck, a demolished economy, rubbled land... and we wonder why all of these horrendous terrorist cells of have formed?
the rest of gnostic's post was spot-on, and my guess is that's what he (and I) are clapping about. I think we all agree that Saddam needed to be eliminated from power.

Apparently we didn't really fix anything. It was naive to think we could. Take out one genocidal tyrant at great cost and another soon takes their place?
I don't think we know what we are doing well enough to make these choices for the rest of the world.
Whatever decisions are made or not made, people are going to get hurt. So by what do you justify your choices?

Bush convinced the majority of America that his actions were just.
Personally I think Jesus advised people to stay out of politics.
Something I fail miserably at. There are no winners in politics.
I don't think TashaN is clapping about leaving Saddam in power; the rest of gnostic's post was spot-on, and my guess is that's what he (and I) are clapping about. I think we all agree that Saddam needed to be eliminated from power.

Money runs the world, when they want bailed out, they use us as muscle.
Lets stay in context.
Saddam had to go, he was genocidal
Saddam was tried for the death of 50,000 Kurds. The war in Iraq, 195,000 died.
The death of 50,000 is not justified. The death of 195,000 is.
Or since Saddam kill 50,000, it's ok for another 195,000 to die because of it.
Are we ever going to stop justifying the killing of People?
You believe the death of 195,000 was worth stopping Saddam, ok. Saddam felt justified killing his 50,000.
So the world is now a better place?
He killed almost 200,000 around 89 ish
So two wrongs make a right? Great!
They should have killed Saddam or removed Saddam from power in the 1st Gulf War.
I don't think there was any justification to going to war against the 2nd time. Bush junior was supposed to get rid of al-Qaeda, which he didn't do; instead he originally went to war against the Iraqi dictator based on faulty intelligence about WMDs.
The 2 wars waged by Bush junior ruined the US economy. This is why the Obama administration is reluctant to go to war against Syria, or send troops back to Iraq to deal with ISIS. And the American public are generally sick of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
