You are going to put the deaths of 500,000 children at the feet of the americans? After Saddam used the money intended for them on his palaces? You suggested that Mat do a search, I suggest you do the same on the UN. Oil for food scandal. This is similar to killing your parents and then asking for pity because you are an orphan.
Saddam recieved less than one percent of his weaponry from the US.
Saddam was allowed to sell his oil to rebuild.
Since you have put the dead children at the feet of the americans to get you "millions" of dead I am sure that you put the Kurds on that list.
Cliff, it is obvious that you despise the capitalist system as you continue to use talking points almost directly from the Communist and Socialist sites. You have shown yourself to be intellectual dishonest in the past and you continue to do so with this example in particular.
Your ending statement shows how off your thinking is:
One side uses power to make a future that allows freedom of religion, non-stoning of gays, women's rights, democracy, etc. The other side doesn't. The problem is that you will sit there and try to prove that this is not the truth.
