Unless you really do think he was justified in his actions in slaughtering the shia (which I really don't think you do, at least I hope you don't), how can you say that he was no longer a threat?
Are you seriously suggesting that all Iraqi's were safe from him after the Gulf War?
Are you denying that hundreds of thousands were slaughtered and starved due to Saddam's actions?

I am not suggesting anything merely quoting Amnesty International, who I might add have been very vocal in reporting past atrocities the regime committed
