I understand that there have always been people of all religions who
try to twist the words of whatever holy book they have into creating
a power base for themselves, and that these "warped" folks have
always attracted a small fringe of society. This is true in every
country where religion is strong; see ChristianExodus.org for a
warped, repressive example here in the US.

I see. So the world with Saddam was more dangerous than the world
without Saddam. So why are you saying it would be immoral for us to
leave Iraq? We've obviously improved the country, so why should we
sacrifice more of our men and women?
