There you go comparing what Saddamn did. You CANNOT compare. Its like Apples and Oranges. Is it fair? Maybe not. But none the less, you can't compare.
Saddam was a known abuser of Human Rights, and we're known ENFORCERS of Human Rights. That's one of the reasons we're there, to eliminate the abuse of Human Rights. However, if we ourselves abuse our power, does it make us any better? Whose going to police our actions?
No one but ourselves. Precisely the reason we must hold ourselves to a HIGHER MORAL STANDARD.
Except in Saddam's case it was Muslim's mistreating Muslims, no? If they have historically not held themselves to a standard why are they now holding the US to a standard? This is a key IMO and I think that was what Sandman was saying.
EDIT: and in fact that is the case.

In retrospect, it was all downhill from here. RIP, CEG.
