I understand what you are saying Mojo, please do not think that I approve of ANYTHING Saddam did during his regime, I was merely indicating that technically the situation is rather complex over there as to 'who is who'
.
I would like to point out, however, that the "Iraqi" people did continually vote for Saddam to remain in power...whether or not they were abused if they did otherwise I am not sure.
I blame Churchill and Co. for the mess in the Middle East. They created it, if only we could undo what has already come to pass...Frankly, the Ottomans were significantly more humanitarian than most of the governments over there currently...
