Run a poll, asking that if you knew Saddam slaughtered 5-7 million of his own people, would it be worth (or, even retrospectively, would it have been worth) 5 million american lives to stop it?
Ok, what about 3 million?
1 million?
The results will be depressing, but the results do not occur simply because they would be useful Democratic talking points.

Whil discussing numbers, I believe that this Big "Mess" and "quagmire" we are now bogged down in has resulted in ~850 American deaths.
Which, in perspective, is about one third of how many Americans were killed on D-Day alone.
Don't get me wrong - the loss of one mere American is terrible - but these actual numbers at issue are miniscule to say the least.
