Plus, every human rights organization worth a damn complained long and loudly about the slaughter of the kurds. And every other slaughter in the world. And Hussein was repeatedly condemned by both the UN and other organizations.
This whole "he killed the kurds" thing really smacks of hypocrisy. Slaughters entire magnitudes larger go on all the time, and it's not usually the US who complains about them. Sometimes they do, and I'm glad when it happens. But most of the time, it's the human rights organizations, the UN bureaus, the pacifists.
But, of course, nobody actually listens until it happily coincides with the war plans of the powers that be.
