Interesting post Magik, but totally off-topic. BTW George Bush has the blood of those 500,000 people that died in the 91 on his hands as well as Saddam's. Since he did encourge them to rise up then did nothing to help them.

There are many other countries that have as horrific internal policies as Iraq, but we are not invading them. The human rights abuses was not the reason we went to war, no matter how much the spin doctors want us to 'remember that'. The reason we went to war as as 'self-protection' from the 'clear and intement danger' Saddam posed to the western world. That and the oil of course. The liberating of the Iraqi people, as noble and right that it is, is merely window dressing.
