There is nothing here that has not been known since it happened. Remember the Iranian hostage crisis? Victims? I think the victims were American diplomatic personell, not Iranians. Following that, relations between the US and Iran chilled noticeably. Then SH decided to invade Iran. It was hard to pick sides in this one; it would have been nice had both lost. But the US gov't backed Iraq against what it regarded as the greater threat of Iranian Islamic fundamentalism. And supplied Iraq with weapons. Including the makings of chemical weapons (the US kept a stockpile of its own, being uncertain the Soviets had destroyed all of theirs). There's a real world out there. And it isn't pretty. You don't always get nice clean choices.

It is not just the buyers, it is suppliers of death who are accountable under the Nuremberg Conventions.

Would you care to supply the clause of the treaty(ies) that says that? And links?

That censored report, which rightfully belongs to the victims, not Bush, constitutes a major piece of evidence for any impartial war crimes tribunal.
Bush is NOT going to be tried by a war crimes tribunal. Get used to it.

It was not Saddam's atrocities-his torture rooms, his gassing of the Kurds, the use of chemicals against Iranians,
You may have slept through this. I remember hearing of such BEFORE the Kuwait invasion.
