Upon seeing this movie, however, the real reasons for taking out Saddam Hussein resurfaced. Weapon of Mass Destruction: The Murderous Reign of Saddam Hussein is a refreshing alternative to the negative press the war has been receiving. I was shocked to see that 1.3 million Iraqis were murdered at the hands of this despot, who did nothing more than squander the country’s incredible wealth on himself and his repugnant sons. Mass graves, gas bombings, torture chambers, these were all the norm in Iraq before the invasion. This being the case, it is clear that Iraqis are infinitely better off now that this man is no longer a threat to them.

If anything, it will reinforce your views that something incredibly positive has occurred as a result of the invasion
