Click Here For Is Iraq Better Off? Ask the Iraqis

LP: Is Iraq Better Off? Ask the Iraqis: "In a recent speech, Kerry charged that Saddam Hussein's brutality 'was not, in itself, a reason to go to war.' Iraqis disagree, as should any supporter of human rights. Nearly 55% of Iraqis say that toppling Hussein was worth the price of the current difficulties.

These figures are easy to understand when you look at another set of numbers. In an Op-Ed article circulated this year among the more than 200 independent newspapers now published in Iraq, an Iraqi democratic activist observed that Hussein tortured and killed as many as 750,000 of his own people. Iraqis don't understand the debate about whether Hussein had weapons of mass destruction. To them, Hussein was a weapon of mass destruction."
