I still think that most accusations against Saddam are biased and exaggerated. In every war there’s a need to demonize your enemy to legitimate your position.
I’m not saying he’s a good guy, or that I’d like to live under his regime. But no dictator Lasts that long if he doesn’t count with some support from his people.
Kurds were seen as seditious traitors to the country and fighting them was a way to show the loyal Iraqis they were protecting them. How’s that different than bombing Iraqis to “protect” Americans?
Also don’t Americans agree that Kurds have no right to fight for their independence?

Andr&eacutes, the case against Sadaam is anything but wartime propoganda. If anything, he is worse than we know or will admit, because doing so makes us look all the worse for doing business with him all those years.

The official administration opinion is against an independant Kurdistan. The hope is for free, democratic Iraqi that represents the interests of all the various ethnic Groups. Admitadly, it is a lofty goal.
