The filling up of mass graves didn't bother us a bit when it was happening in 1984, did it? Saddam was using chemical weapons and gassing the Kurds when Rumsfeld went to Baghdad, and yet we restored full diplomatic relations with him, sending him more munitions, including helicopters used in subsequent gas attacks. Munitions are always useful in filling mass graves, tyrants find. We had no problem with supporting the murderous Saddam when we felt it was in our national interest to send him the weapons he needed to kill people en masse, so pretending now that those graves are what justifies a war that was sold with bogus claims about WMD is particularly distasteful.
