The ONLY reasons I feel our atrocities are worse are two-fold:

1. We invaded and attacked Iraq (leading to all these civilian deaths) under the pretense that they were a threat to us. That was a lie.

2. We are supposedly a shining example of freedom and humanity and rights, something Hussein never pretended to be. Which means we are giant hypocrites of the nth degree.

(By "we" I mean the elected officials of the current US government.)

Also on edit, I said NOTHING to justify Hussein's atrocities. In fact, I acknowledged their horror. He was Bad with a capital B, we are worse. Just take a look at the numbers.
