      <description>&lt;p&gt;You make a strong case as usually except for one point. While it is true that many Iraqis had died cause of US actions one can also make a strong case that taking down Saddam  saved lives. Saddam intended to kill off the Kurds , re-invade Kuwait and use nuclear weapons against Israel if he ever had the chance&lt;/p&gt;

	&lt;p&gt;If Saddam had gotten free it is very likely that he would have killed more than the were killed  by US actions. There are very good arguments against the war , but the moral argument isn&amp;#8217;t one of them.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;It is pretty clear that Saddam did not have any significant collaborative relationship with Al Qaeda. At the same time it is also pretty clear that Saddam did support terror.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
