RE: killed millions and allowed terrorists to have a safe haven
Saddam did all that.
Not sure what his relationship with Al Qaeda is though.
Why didn’t we just nuke Mecca on 09/12/2001????
There were efforts to make the connection to justify the invasion of Iraq as 9/11 related but, as I recall, none was ever documented as fact.
IMHO, the 9/11 attacks on the US were used as a pretense to take out Sadaam Hussein for other, more personal reasons.
Yes, he was a brutal man and heartily disliked. But there are a lot of brutal men in power, like in Saudi Arabia, that we live with. And there is at least as much brutality in Iraq now as when Sadaam was in power.
