Actually, the gassing occurred in Halabja in March, 1988 while the Iranians were actually advancing into Iraqi Kurdistan.

Bill Clinton annihilated the Branch Davidians for a lot less.

Yeah, they were a lot better off when Saddam was putting Iraqi citizens into meat grinding machines.

That probably never happened (http://www.sovereignty.org.uk/siteinfo/newsround/iraq6.html - broken link) and was certainly never documented after the fall of Baghdad, but even if it happened in the odd case, Iraq in general was better off.

I love your loyalty to your government. You sound like a true American.

I have too much loyalty to anyone on earth who does what is good and just, to squander it on sadists and thugs with whom I have nothing in common but nationality.

How does that qualify as a defense of Saddam rather than as an indictment of Bush?

You've got to be kidding me! I am SO. GLAD!!! I did not see that. Un. $#&*@! real!

I was going to write that this is one of the most....well, let me not get banned...I'll keep it at "ridiculous" then...this is one of the most ridiculous threads I have ever seen on City Data....but then you go and talk about one that's even worse.

Fine, then.

This would be the second most ridiculous, (I say that REALLY holding back what I WANT to say), thread ever on City Data.
