Did Saddam Hussein launch a chemical attack against his own people before the 2003 invasion?

No.

Were the people of Iraq crying out for help against their own regime in 2003?

No.

Did Bashir al-Assad launch a chemical attack against his own people there?

Yes.

Are the people of Syria crying out for help?

Yes.

In one case, we went in uninvited. But now, we have to stay 'morally pure' even in the face of the dying innocents.

Republican or Democrat, if we here in this nation were being gassed and killed for fighting against the regime, I'd hope that other nations would help us out no matter what their ideology.
