The War is illegtimate because America once supported Saddam.
The full history of Iraqi-American dealings is outside the spectrum of a blog entry. So for the sake of argument let's give the appeasers this point. Heck, let's go one better and posit that we somehow CREATED Saddam. He's our Frankenstein.
What we have managed to do is merely strengthen the case for war.
If he's our monster, then we bear partial responsibility for the 1.5 million deaths in the Iran-Iraq war, the 100,000 Kurds from the failed uprising, the countless civilian deaths in his gulags... This responsibility requires restitution. It would be absolutely incumbent upon us to remove this monster from the necks of his people. Liberating them would be a down payment on the debt we owed. Reconstruction would go still further.
