Tim Re...Tipped for a senior role in a future Iraqi government, Barham Salih is Prime Minister of the Kurdistan region in Sulaymaniyah, northern Iraq. Here he appeals to the British Left to back a war to depose Saddam Hussein

Tim, did you notice this part of that article. Ted is trying to claim Saddam is a not so terrible guy, in that Saddam has only killed 500,000. This guy claims Saddam is responsible for over 2 million.

Ethnic cleansing began in Iraq in 1963, when the Baath Party seized power and started expelling Kurds from their homes. Settling Arabs in Iraqi Kurdistan remains official policy. Around a million people have been displaced, mostly Kurds but also Turkomans and Assyrian Christians. Ethnic cleansing continues as non-Arabs are evicted from Kirkuk and other parts of Kurdistan still controlled by the regime. Kirkuk is the Kurds' Bosnia.

This regime has cost the lives of at least two million Iraqis. Four million more have been forced to become refugees. Iraqi Kurdistan is filled with the mass graves of victims of genocide - the Anfal campaign that in 1987-88 may have killed as many as 182,000 Kurds. Today marks the fifteenth anniversary of the Iraqi chemical weapons attack on Halabja that killed 5,000 Kurds
