Going to war with a country because they might get nukes is insane. Using Iraq for target practice (for the last ten years) is criminal. Supporting Israel's genocidal, anti-democratic, destabilizing policies is stupid/wrong/criminal.

In short, when I look at the Middle East, Saddam is the least of my worries.
