No right thinking,unbiased individuals can disagree to any of the points raised by Praful Bidwai. There are enough and more people who think on those lines. None of the points made by Bidwai can be disputed by honest and unbiased persons. Saddam could have been a demon in US's eyes. But he was never accused of siding with the Islamic militants. Iraq under him was the only Arab state which didn't allow fundamentalist groups like Alqeda to operate from its territory. Post Saddam you can see all sort of militants operating from Iraq.
Also it is pertinent to note that US was backing Saddam when the did all these "so called heinous crimes against humanity" because it suited US well at that point it time to support him. Who gave US the international Policeman's job??!!
