Just wondering. Do you guys have any reasons to hate him? You
don't
hate Putin, do you? He also managed to subdue some terroristic
nation
without trying to be "civilised" much, so what's the difference?
And
contrary to Saddam, he does have some amounts of weapons of mass
destruction.

Putin didn't invade Kuwait.

He did invade Tchetchnya (or however you decided to write it).

There is a strong case to be made that Tchetchnya is a state within
Russia -
there was no such argument about Kuwait being part of Iraq

Well, the problem with Kuwait was solved some years ago, wasn't it?

What 'terroristic nation' did Saddam subdue?

Kurds. I stupidly thought that gassing a nation would matter some.

Iraqi Kurds are not a 'nation'

So Poles were not a nation too.

- is is an area of northern Iraq where Kurds
predominate

So Poland was an area of eastern Russia, northern Austria and western
Germany where Poles just somehow predominated for hundreds of years.

Anyway, I see that gassing Kurds is no problem at all. Sure, I'm just
a stupid Pole. Do not bother.

He didn't gas a 'nation' - there was just one incident on Halabja

Yeah. Sure. No problem. So, what he did wrong then?

You have made sweeping statements that are factually wrong -
Saddam was a murderous dictator - killed, tortured, numerous crimes
against
his people, invaded Kuwait without provocation, used WMD - you know the
story

<snip>
Surely no country would invade without provocation , use WMDs , torture
etc -
well yes there is but this one is so saintly that it cannot be named.

I think I get your drift - are you referring to the use of WMD to end WW2?
Where 2 small cities were chosen rather than to maximum damage to major
population ? If that was not done we would probably still be fighting WW2
