No it does not contradict itself, because I, like most people and courts of law, can distinguish between premeditated murder and unintended deaths, apparently you cannot or refuse to because of your political or personal beliefs. I think it’s great you can latch on to just one thing and throw every other thing out as inconsequential. If I could do that it would make my life a whole lot simpler too. I guess it doesn’t matter that the Shiite are no longer arrested, openly murdered, and allowed a say in their Government, because Saddam kept the schools open.

Recovery from this sort war will take time. Things are improving all the time. You can’t open a school if someone is going to drive bomb into it. Security has to come first. I can ask the same thing is America better off under Obama. All signs thus far point to no, but wouldn’t it be a little more prudent to wait longer, before passing final judgment?
