It's funny to me to read that you and Zonder blame the US for Saddam 15 years ago, yet think that Halabja should be forgotten because it was 12 yrs ago

And it is hilarious that you should choose to misrepresent my points in this regard.

This is exactly what I have said, in a response to you, clarifying the exact same point:

My point is that while Saddam has been known to brutally treat its own population, killing them in massive numbers in certain occasions, this is obviously not THE REASON for the proposed invasion of Iraq, because:

(1) They were just as well known 10 years ago when the earlier Bush left him in place

(2) Other US allies committing equally "atrocious" acts (Turkey, Pakistan...)

(3) There are other nations perishing in worse conditions of civil war, hunger, and disease, and I don't see Bush shedding a tear to liberate them from their misery

(4) US knew of the "atrocious" acts and still continued to supply Iraq with technological know-how to manufacture more WMDs:

Now, please answer this simple but vital question - Does it look like I am saying that "Halabja should be forgotten because it was 12 years ago"? Or perhaps am I trying to say that it is not the real reason for this war?
