>> So how do we deal with the many hundreds of thousands killed by Saddam? Are we so afraid to act that to spare some innocents (which will always happen) we let the carnage continue? Are you arguing that Saddam somehow reformed and no killing was still happening? << No I am not. There had been a UN resolution in 1991 that said the Iraqi regime must comply with human rights provisions. It was never attempted to be enforced. The human rights issue is a very late comer to the justifications for this war. And it was only brought up when the world balked at believing that the wmd issue represented the massive and immediate threat that the US/UK claimed. I really wonder if the occupying powers will guard the human rights of the Iraqi people when the day-to-day issues of governing come up. I just don't see the dropping of cluster bombs on mud-huts to be a good sign. Sarmad
