>>>In 1989, the State Department released a report that described in gruesome detail Iraq?s violation of human rights, specifically how Iraq?s President Saddam Hussein tortured his own people for allegedly being disloyal. But despite the atrocities outlined in the report, which President Bush now refers to when speaking about his desire to remove Hussein from power, the United States, under the first Bush Administration, refused to vote in favor of a United Nations resolution calling for an inquiry into Iraq?s treatment of its population and possibly indicting Hussein for war crimes and human rights abuses. The two people most vocal about refusing to go along with the U.N. investigation are now lobbying for a U.N. resolution authorizing an invasion of Iraq and are highly critical of the countries that refuse to back a U.S. led coalition to use military force to remove Hussein from power.
