By...erm...making it worse than it was under Saddam.

So if Skarra or Bell are still reading, and if they still want to take the approach that this war was good for the people of Iraq, would they like to respond?

But it's OK today.

I killed a dog yesterday.

What?

People said this would happen, said it was wrong, and it has happened.

But that's a criticism based on a retrospective perspective.

Now 100,000 people aren't living under anyone. Except their relatives. In a grave.

The people of Iraq were living under the rule of a tyrant.

It's also a lot easier, and magnanimous, to point out that several of us here were warning of exactly this when rabid warmongers like Belldandy were stating why we should invade a country that has never ever once acted aggressively towards The West.
Even with shiny bombs and chemicals we sold to them.

Your comment is almost as telling as the deafening silence from those that sneered and called anybody anti-invasion "commies" or "Pro-Saddam"

Mm, true. Just as well I (and millions of others) were criticising beforehand as well, innit?

Well, there's the shock and awe they promised. Shock at how awesomely stupid they were.

It's always easier to criticise with the benefit of hindsight.
