I thought Saddam was evil and his regime needed to be stopped.

I am not comfortable with this outlook.

Even if it could be proven conclusively that Saddam Hussein regularly fornicated with animals and ate babies for breakfast -- he was nonetheless the legitimate head of a soverign nation and for the United States to unilaterally decide that "..his regime needed to be stopped..." is arrogance (not to mention illegality) of truly staggering proportions.

Had Iraq actually attacked, or even threatened to attack this country or its interests, my viewpoint might be different. But as things stand now, I am embarassed by the actions of my government.
