So we have the mandate to attack any country that uses force to stop rebellions?

So you are saying Saddam's government was a legitimate one that had the right to oppress its own people right?

Your boys Reagan and Bush Sn seemed to think so.

If you want to argue for intervention on humanitarian grounds go for it (and perhaps expalin why Iraq should have been the first/only country on the list). But arguing that Bush was correct to link Saddam to terrorism because he was an oppressive or even genocidal ruler is dumb. They're two different arguments.
