The largest attack was on Halabjah, which resulted in approximately 5,000 deaths. # A total of 2,000 Kurdish villages were destroyed during Saddam's blitzkreig. # In 1998 alone, 4,000 prisoners were executed at Abu Ghraib.- # 3,000 prisoners were executed at the Mahjar prison from 1993 to 1998. # 2,500 prisoners were executed between 1997 and 1999 in a "prison cleansing campaign." # At least 130 Iraqi women were beheaded between June 2000 and April 2001. # Saddam committed sixteen violations of the Hague and Geneva conventions during his 1990 invasion of Kuwait, according to a Pentagon report, including torture by amputation, electric shock, rape, forced self-cannibalism and dismemberment.

Wrong. Bush's tax cuts are slanted to the very rich. Not just the wealthy, but the very-very rich. This is deliberate. The tax cuts to the middleclass are crumbs, and more than offset by higher health care, gasoline and education costs whyich are direct results of Bushie cronies and policies. Furthermore, Bush and DElay spend like drunken sailors, with no way to pay off their ballooning deficits. Clearly, the middleclass in this country has been shafted in favor ofn the very rich. If you support Bush and not not very rich you are supporting someone who is bad for your personal financial interests. Unless you're in the pollution, energy or warfare businesses.
