Subject: RE: BS: Iraqi Sovereignty
You deflect the question, Akenaton. Were you protesting about the gassing of the Kurds? Give us the dates of the posts, if you were.
   Incidentally, yes I can see a distinction between that gassing and what the USA did in Fallujah. Pretty obvious,I would have thought. What Ali Chemical(as the Kurds call him) did was to wipe out a whole population as a reprisal, or example. (As happened in a town in Syria as well, this is not a uniquely Saddam habit).
   The USA did not try to kill the whole population of Fallujah. I have little doubt that if they had tried to, they would have succeeded. You may not have noticed, but the Yanks have a rather scary superiority in the arms technology area.
