Why shouldn't I believe it? I know all about the war, I followed it while it was going on with very little coverage in the west. At the time Saddam gassed the Kurds he was considered a friend of the US, or at least a useful tool against Iran. I recall fruitless efforts being made to get the US government to condemn Saddam's actions, but Iran was considered to be the real enemy of the US. So people like me knew how cynical it was for Cheney et al to use the Halabja attack as part of the campaign to justify invading Iraq, although in the scheme of things it didn't stand out.

I don't understand your comment about Helen Clark at all. It will be to her eternal credit that she refused to go along with the immoral and disastrous attack on Iraq. BTW, "Helengrad" in reference to Wellington is amusing, but in reference to Clark it's just silly.

As is often the case, I find it very hard to get on the wavelength of your post.
