1. That question is so common and so ridiculous
I hear it constantly it seems, and it never has any notion of "At what price?" along with it. It implies that the world is better off without Saddam regardless of what it cost. Why doesn't someone turn it back on the questioner: at the cost of 1,000 US troops' lives? At the cost of say, your son or daughter?

Have these people no sense of moral relativity, or even practical relativity?
