I'm sorry that you feel the body count isn't high enough for Hussein's regime to make the "club". Perhaps if we gave him another 5-10 years to fully bring forth his nuclear and biological weapon ambitions then he would have met your criteria...
His aggression, policies and heavy-handed tactics on those of different religious and ethnic belief say differently, though, as well as his aims and goals within the region. Uprovoked attacks on neghboring countries, chem. weapon use...
Need I go on?
As far as allies go, where is it written in politics that situations and sides can NEVER change? I figured that the Nazi backstab of the Russians would have been a good illustration of that.
Of course, though. I forget. Whole population and troops need to be vaporized in large numbers, whole regions need to be destabilized and the WORLD needs to be under threat before anyone acts anymore.
Silly me.
By the way, where was all this anti-war attitude when Clinton threw troops into the Balkans and ran into Somalia?
