God I hate being in the position to defend people I don't like, but your facts are wrong about Saddam; He did not commit genocide. He ruthlessly squashed an uprising. And was even more ruthless towards the Shia who are both the majority of the population and unlike the Kurds are Arabs. That he is keeping Iraqi population under his boots is a given. But that is not the same as genocide. Milosovic on the other hand was conducting genocide. Here is Merriam-Webster on the topic: One entry found for genocide. Main Entry: geno·cide Pronunciation: 'je-n&-"sId Function: noun Date: 1944 : the deliberate and systematic destruction of a racial, political, or cultural group If you really want to improve things, then push Bush to give UN more authority and sign the world court treaty rather than undermine it. Sun Tzu edit: I am in favor of anti-genocide laws, but you'd never get it passed. For obvious reasons China (and perhaps Russia) will never allow it.
