300,000 People...

The AP ran a story today about a mass grave being discovered in Iraq, possibly dating back to 1991. I was reading, and a quote sent shivers down my spine...

"Human rights organizations estimate that more than 300,000 people, mainly Kurds and Shiite Muslims, were killed and buried in mass graves during Saddam's 23-year rule, which ended when U.S.-led forces toppled his regime in 2003. Saddam and seven co-defendants are now on trial for the deaths of more than 140 Shiites after a 1982 attempt on Saddam's life in the town of Dujail, north of Baghdad."

And STILL people condemn the Bush administration for going in there and extricating the murdering f**khead? Is it because they were Muslim? Is it because they WEREN'T Jewish? WHY are people still questioning this action to liberate these poor, tortured people? Ok. Ok... I know Saddam didn't unleash a WMD and kill everyone in the cities of Sterling Heights, Warren and Troy. Sure, if you average it out, it's only 13,043 dead Iraqis a year? RIGHT? Hey, maybe another 200,000 and he would get a free set of steak knives from the Idi Amin school for self-improvement and torture? Maybe he was working his way up to Hitler-esque numbers by supporting groups of terror?

I am continually amazed by the blatant lack of humanity that exudes from the "left" side of this country. Lies or no lies, Intelligence breaches, whatever. Let's remember we are human first, and political pundits second.
