Actually i once brought up that Clinton was considering removing Saddam from power...and at that time nobody was complaining. Had Clinton gone to remove Saddam the complaints would be coming from the right as much as the extreme left. The question has never really been that removing of Saddam...it has been of priorities and the choice to do so when things are undone in this War of Terrorism vs Al Queda.
my political agenda is merely to examine this process. personally, I wanted Al Queda removed and Osama brought to justice than this quagmire in Iraq. Iraq, to me, is a distraction to the more important and more imperative issue of removing/controlling radical elements in Islam. Iraq, in fact, put radicals and relgious sects with more of a powerplay...much like Iran, their wacky neighbor. So that actual move to remove Saddam actually has created instability and room for extremists to thrive during this war on terrorism.
so, I try to grasp this logic....when Saddam is hanged, where ends justify the means, where to me....the end is that Iraq is an unstable hotbed where extremist elements are thriving...and religious sects are pushing them to the brink of civil war...and trying to understand how this made anything better. I think the mantra that Saddam being a despot and needed to be disposed is simply lip service. Personally, he can gas his own people and enemies to his hearts delight while this country tracks down and destorys radical elements that will attack us. And then after, when I can work in NYC with some comfort and safety, we can dispose state leaders who kill their own people...there will be a long line of them, including many who the US are on friendly terms with.
I can say plainly that I preferred Saddam alive and in power b/c he was never a threat to the US except for when they threatened our oil supply. On the list of crappy leaders who kill, he was just another blip. And this so-called priority to remove him and how the world is a better place is pure bunk and bullshit used to pacify those bleeding hearts who gave a shit that Iraqi people died, b/c somehow they are more important than the 200,000 dead in Darfur or elsewhere. Saddam, somehow, was this bad hombre who took precendence...for cited innaccurate reasons, and the results are still a mess. But I'm supposed to be thankful and appeased that justice was done. Who's justice and to what end? I am no safer.

There are four kinds of people in this world: cretins, fools, morons, and lunatics.
