Hey Kuz,
Thought you had given up the ghost. Glad you are back though...there has been no one to defend Saddam Hussein's regime since you disappeared.Perhaps you not aware of recent, and not so recent revelations, concerning the debunking of certain anti-war shibboleths.
To take you points is order:
1. Read the Dulfer Report on Iraq's weapon programs and the recent film of Saddam's intention to resume WMD production as soon as sanctions were lifted. In addition to the fact that no trace of his "declared" pre-war WMD arsenal was verifyed to have been destroyed or produced as he was obliged to do by the UN and his 1991 treaty commitments.
2. The 1993 WTC bomber fled directly to, and was given sancuary by, Iraq, after that bombing. Zarqawi was in Iraq before the war and Ansar al-Islam was operating in northeastern Iraq against the Kurds with Saddam's blessing.
3. Your Halabja assertion is a total lie. Full stop.
4."Bush Sr permitted Hussein to ruthlessly crush the rebellion" Are you now advocating an invasion of Iraq in 1991 against the UN mandate?
5. I guess you prefer a slow moving "humanitarian catastrophe" (Internal Shia, Kurds, Marsh Arabs...) to a creeping one. Much easier for sensitive souls to absorb or forget.
As for Darfur, there is good news for people believe this was the correct (UN proscribed) way to handle humanitarian catastrophes. They are about to sign a peace treaty to stop the ethnic cleansing by the arab government backed janjaweed militias.
The bad news is most of the black indiginous population there is already dead.
