Many of the 300,000 + Iraqis who died were Kurds whom the Sunnis and Shiites don't care about anyway (or in fact actively wish were all dead) so you throwing out that number isn't particularly good evidence for you. That's nonsense, X. Most of the dead were Shi'a, who constitute 60% of Iraq's population and were brutally oppressed for thirty years, and even more so after 1991. And if Saddam's hand rested more lightly on the Sunnis, it was only relatively; there are still many Sunnis in the mass graves. Only Saddams tribe & relations got the good end of the deal.
