I apologize. I didn't mean to call Saddam "brutal" in front of you. I didn't mean to offend you.

- 600 Kuwaitis taken by Saddam's soldiers, and still missing.

- Thousands murdered by Saddam, who used mustard and cyanide gases on them

- Four million refugees of Saddam's brutal regime.

- Daily torture and murder of prisoners.

- Attacks against Saudi Arabia, Israel, Kuwait, Iran by Saddam.

- Millions of Iraqis suffering due to sanctions caused by Saddam.

- The development of chemical, biological and nuclear weapons systems, by this madman, who would use them.

Once again, I apologize for you. You certainly wouldn't want to blame Saddam, your blood brother, for any wrong doing.

<< we should poll Hiroshima and Nagasaki survivors on what they think are brutal crimes >>

The atomic strikes on Japan weren't crimes, and were never considered crimes. The atomic bombs used were just one of the many weapons used during the war with Japan. It is just a shame that we didn't use them sooner. We would have saved many more American lives.

One thing you seem to forget. Japan attacked America. Japan started the war.
