Has holding Saddam Hussein accountable for his murderous actions made it less likely that others in Iraq will commit murderous actions? No - the opposite has happened, epic failure. But that's another excellent example that proves my point: when the US--and other superpowers--continue to prop up undemocratic governments, murder and oppression ensue. For all the talk of "democratic values" the last thing the superpowers want is democracy. It's too dangerous to their perceived interests, economic and otherwise. They would rather have a dictator in power with whom they can make deals. Even a cursory look at US history proves this. The support of the worst kind of regimes in South and Central America, Africa, Asia. Presently, see the esteemed Saudi royal family, our "partners for peace," as exhibit A. Read about the Egyptian military dictators in Egypt, more "partners for peace." The Russians are as bad. The Chinese are as bad. But there's only one country that I as an American have any hope of influencing.

It's not easy combatting Jihadists .. We drone the hell out of them left and right... Bomb them.... Even whack their kids with hellfire missiles yet WE can't control them .. So why are guys like Hussein and Gadaffi so bad in comparison? .. They were ruthless because that's what it takes ...Just ask the CIA.. Gadaffi had more Al Qaeda in prison than we did in Guantanamo .....
