I don’t know any anti-war protesters who approved of Saddam Hussein’s brutal tactics to remain in power. Donald Rumsfeld and other pro-war leaders did until Hussein stood up to them on some issues.
Something like 2 million have died, directly and indirectly, in the >17 year effort to depose Hussein and install a government acceptable to the US war establishment. Hussein was bad for Iraq, but at least he did some good things for his country. In contrast, the US has been worse for Iraq than Hussein, and what few good things the US has done are vastly outweighed by the harmful ones.
