Sarmad, Who represents the Kurds? The Shiites? You can see some of their dead here: dhushara.com Or are you just saying Sunni Arab deaths are important, but Kurdish and Shiite deaths are not? Morality involves all life or it isn't moral. Its not just a Western vs Sunni Arab argument. The Baathist killing must stop and neither the Arab street nor their governments will do anything. Yes - lots of Sunni's die, and some Shiites. After all the Baathists hide behind or mascarade as civilians. Given the carnage caused internally by the Baath party and Saddam - what would you do? a) intervene (but your against that) b) use sanctions (but they kill as well) c) drop sanctions (and support a dictator?) Level set - As some one who has argued the moral case for intervention - I deplored our non-intervention in Rhwanda and supported the Clinton administrations actions in the Balkans. If I were President - the UN would be discussing the Congo and if the French balked again - I would put some feet on the ground. Call me a neoliberal :-) John
