Are you seriously saying that you can't see the difference between a huge civil war and a violent sadistic dictator? There's no way we could have characterized the action in Iraq as a peace-keeping mission. We were invading a sovereign nation that had well-settled borders and a government that was pretty well in control of the country (with some isolated pockets of unrest in some areas far from the capital).

Again, not to belittle either of the occasions I mentioned earlier (Kurds, uprising after first Gulf War), did Iraq have any mass murder stuff happen since, oh, the turn of the latest century? Domestically, things seemed fucked up but generally peaceful over there before we went in.

I thought we found some fresh mass graves.
