> This should start off with holding countries accountable for the murders of millions of their people.

I disagree. Internal problems of other countries are best solved by their people.

This should start with international accords between states. Then after we have a good working system between nations can we be concerned about what goes on elsewhere.

<where was your sign that spoke against Saddam for these unspeakable horrors>

And where was the outrage, the protests, the call for action, when Saddam first used gas against the Kurds? That was way, way back in the 1980s. The people who now are outraged by those atrocities, were silent then. And continued to be silent, for many years. Only after 9/11 did they get outraged, after a 20-year lag. Did you march in any anti-Saddam protests in the 1980s? Or 1990s?
