<No sane human being supports or condones genocide.> I agree. So, back when Saddam first started using chemical weapons on the Iranians and Kurds, in the 1980s, back when he first started doing ethnic cleansing on the Kurds (to remove them from the N. Iraq oil fields), what was the official Washington response? There are official photos of that time, showing Rumsfeld shaking hands with Saddam, everyone all smiles. He was our ally, and our government (many of the exact same people in power today), were they called for Regime Change? No, there was a deafening silence. A little honesty about the historical record is all that's needed, to expose the hypocricy of the NeoCons. As is the pattern, NeoCon morality is applied extremely selectively.
