american Liberals don't really care if he commits mass murders

Don't you know anything? Bushies and Reganistas ARE NOT AMERICAN LIBERALS.

"...In 1988, Saddam’s forces attacked Kurdish civilians with poisonous gas from Iraqi helicopters and planes. U.S. intelligence sources told The LA Times in 1991, they “believe that the American-built helicopters were among those dropping the deadly bombs.”

In response to the gassing, sweeping sanctions were unanimously passed by the US Senate that would have denied Iraq access to most US technology. The measure was killed by the White House.....

In 1984, Donald Rumsfeld was in a position to draw the world’s attention to Saddam’s chemical threat. He was in Baghdad as the UN concluded that chemical weapons had been used against Iran. He was armed with a fresh communication from the State Department that it had “available evidence” Iraq was using chemical weapons. But Rumsfeld said nothing...."

If Bushies and Reaganistas were American Liberals then we'd have a budget in surplus, have national single-payer healthcare, be working on global warming and be at peace with the world.
