how many innocent civilian deaths happened before the war when Sadaam was in power?
hundreds of thousands i believe?
not that i support war on any level.....
that's also a point that seems to be overlooked.

(feb 25 04)Hmmm. What about all the people that Saddam killed (including the use of forbidden chemical weapons) thanks to the help from the USA and other western countries, just because at that time he was their greatest ally against the 'Iranian demon'? Ask Rumsfeld about this... ;) Not only they looked the other way while Saddam gassed kurds, iranian troops and his own people, but they even helped him. That's a point that really seems to be overlooked... If western allies would not have helped him during the Iran-Iraq war, Iraq would have been crushed and invaded by Iran, and that was something the 'good guys' couldn't stand. Imagine, all that iraqi oil in the hands of those evil iranian islamists... So it's kinda ironic how the 'good guys' have come to the rescue of iraqi people 20 years later than they should...
