one example out of hundreds doesn't seem to do it....All you have to do is look at all the mass graves in Iraq if you don't believe that.

A lot of the people in those mass graves are from the Iran-Iraq war, which we encouraged and cheered while it was happening.

But this isn't about making "apologies" for Saddam. My point was a simple one: if Saddam was as wicked as we make him out to be, why did we have to make up a story in order to get support for Gulf War I? Why couldn't we simply use true stories to illustrate just how demonic he was?
