A few people? Are you kidding me?
Surely, a glorious history of peace and harmony:

Genocide in Iraq: Further Reasons for a Criminal Tribunal
Hussein murdered, maimed, executed and attacked women and children with chemical weapons. STOP acting like this was a peaceful, fun-loving nation that was raped by the US.
I'll listen to people bitch about Bush mis-steps, but spinning Iraq as a peaceful, innocent nation is absolute bullshit and you know it.
Saddam Hussein employed the death penalty on his citizens. You are absolutely right. He killed thousands of Iraqi people in his decades or reign. Meanwhile, the US Government was doing the same thing to Americans: Capital punishment in the United States - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
It doesn't seem so "peaceful" and "fun-loving" when you really know the facts.
When you do a little travel to, say, Europe, west or east, or south or central America and you talk to almost anybody and you see how the American government is perceived and in what regard the current American president in particular is held, you will see that there is very little that can be considered 'dignified' about it.
Then ask them how they see Obama. This should help answer the question.
I agree!
I guess every President has been flawed. I admire JFK, but he was also a philanderer. On the other hand, being a philanderer, or alcoholic, or someone who picks their dog up by the ears (remember him, folks?) is a personal flaw and not indicative of their political platform. I hated W. Bush since day one, but I've never attacked his personal flaws--only his disasterous political policy.I think Bill Clinton is intelligent and one of the best Presidents of the last 60 years. But he was not a suitable role model for our nations youth any more than George W. Bush.
