Saddam Hussein was leader of the Bach Party, the yanks were funding him!!!!!!!

Saddam's recitals were legendary. Why the Yanks would cancel his future performances still remains a mystery.
That could apply to dozens of world leaders at the time...
and in fact Saddam turned out to be one of the least most dangerous to western countries.There is no denying that he was a brutal dictator that thought nothing of torturing and murdering anyone that looked at him sideways but he certainly was not alone and that is not why we invaded Iraq.
We invaded because we were told Saddam was about to fling nuclear and chemical weapons at the UK, USA and Australia
At the time we were told it was a pack of lies and when
we invaded it turned out that Saddam was no danger at all to any western countries.
I guess you are right....look I am all for turning a blind eye to atrocities it gets us into far too much trouble and who need trouble I ask you..
who cares if he murdered Kurds..
As early as April 1987, the Iraqis used chemical weapons to remove Kurds from their villages in northern Iraq during the Anfal campaign. It is estimated that chemical weapons were used on approximately 40 Kurdish villages, with the largest of these attacks occurring on March 16, 1988 against the Kurdish town of Halabja.
Beginning in the morning on March 16, 1988 and continuing all night, the Iraqis rained down volley after volley of bombs filled with a deadly mixture of mustard gas and nerve agents on Halabja. Immediate effects of the chemicals included blindness, vomiting, blisters, convulsions, and asphyxiation. Approximately 5,000 women, men, and children died within days of the attacks. Long-term effects included permanent blindness, cancer, and birth defects. An estimated 10,000 lived, but live daily with the disfigurement and sicknesses from the chemical weapons.
Saddam Hussein's cousin, Ali Hassan al-Majid was directly in charge of the chemical attacks against the Kurds, earning him the epithet, "Chemical Ali."
so what???.. its no where near AUstralia we should learn from this and mind our own b usiness..
its disgusting the way we get involved in minor sirmishes..
I am so glad you have opened my eyes crow....let them fight their own battles.. grow a pair as the saying goes.
