It's obvious that you are only going to believe what you want to believe. You probably think that Iraq is a paradise on Earth and Saddam and his family are benevolent philanthropists. No doubt, Amnesty International will not change your opinion: web.amnesty.org

"A month later riots erupted in Basra for three days between 17 and 20 March 1999 during which the local headquarters of the ruling Ba'ath Party was attacked and several government officials were killed by armed Iraqi Shi'a Islamists, some of whom were reportedly sent by Iraqi Shi'a opposition groups based in Iran. As soon as government forces regained control of Basra on 20 March the repression started with dozens of people executed following torture and hundreds of others were arrested and tortured." web.amnesty.org But of course, who cares, right. You want row upon row of hundreds, if not thousands, of recently murdered people before Iraqi suffering has meaning for you, before a war is justified in your view. Is that not correct? The Iraqi chamber of horrors is best left to its own devices all in the name of protecting soveriegnty.
