Fact: 65,000 Iraqis, over 2/3 children die each year as a result of Saddam's brutal regime and its misuse of Oil for Peace revenues. That's not a fact, I showed it, and you probably already knew it. However Saddam uses his oil revenues, he could not have saved the children who die because a lot of medicines are not available in Iraq due to sanctions. The water cannot be sanitized because chlorine is also a forbidden import. This is not to say Saddam's regime has not been brutal, but it is not fair to say his use of oil revenues is responsible for deaths that happened due to sanctions. I'm tired of your endless justifications for a brutal, murdering regime..... Then go away. In case you have not noticed it yet, this is "Don't Start The War" thread, and you are bound to see counter-war arguments around here. Here's an idea: Boycott this thread. You may even succeed where others have failed and continue to boycott it after a few days.
