I can see why Saddam gassed the Kurds when Iran was at war with him. They are Iranian more or less and were on the other side but right there in Iraq. If he had nukes he could have nuked them like the USA did to Japanese in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Or if he had the equipment he could have fire-bombed them like the British did to Dresden. Maybe burning people alive with an atomic bomb is considered good form but gassing them isn't. I'm not sure which I'd prefer. In hospitals they use gas as anaesthetics but maybe Saddam was using burning skin gas rather than nerve gas, which would be unpleasant, to say the least, in lungs. Saddam suffered victor's justice.
