Good God, it's about time! This in my opinion was the biggest mistake of the first Gulf War. I think we should have gone after Saddam then and possibly avoided the second Gulf War. We had much more support then and could have easily taken over. But there were many problems with that line of thinking. First off, street to street fighting is very dangerous and we had "only" 250 or so deaths up to the point of driving Saddam out of Kuwait. Casualties certainly would have gone up. Secondly, George Bush Sr. didn't want to look like a bully on the international stage. We had completed our objective of driving Saddam out of Kuwait with casualties lower then anyone had ever dreamed of. Regardless of whether or not this quells any violence in Iraq, Iraqi's can now look forward to never having to deal with Saddam's brutality again.
By the way, I'm still waiting to hear from Democrats about protesting his execution since this was supposedly an "illegal and immoral war". I suppose we could have just asked Saddam nicely to get out. Oh wait, we already did that. Face it Democrats, you wanted Saddam out as much as us Republicans did. The only difference is, we actually meant it and were prepared to do something about it. You just like to second guess things and pretend to have a plan of action.
