KyrosL,

For one thing it was 40 years ago (the bombing stopped after Paris, not when Saigon fell and certainly not in 1983).

As for Hussein - the 1st Kurd slaughter was in 1988, but it continued right up to the start of the war.

That's 40 yrs ago (during the Cold War) vs last month - slight difference.

In fact the difference is so slight I am suprised you didn't discuss Sherman in Georgia invalidating a moral argument.
