As for Suddam being unpredictable/unstable, this no justification for killing that many people. Maybe we should invade the poor people of North Korea because their leader is a fucking wack job. Who cares how many people die, their leader had it coming.
How would you feel if any member of your family was killed because of any violent action.
This has nothing to do with "was it worth the price" this is about wrong and right.
The problem was that inaction could have been even more costly in lives than action.
Saddam was pursuing WMDs for over a decade and attacked a neighboring country simply because he wanted its oil.
He also killed about 500,000 of his own people during his regime.
He wasn't a reformed citizen in 2003. More of this was coming if someone didn't stop him.
Was it the United States' job to stop him? That's worthy of discussion, but painting this war as causing the death of hundreds of thousands of people based upon incorrect/false intelligence simply is not accurate.
