Subject: RE: Obit: Saddam Hussein Dead
bb - I'll pick 'Saddam DID use these WMD on his own citizens'.

The question remains:

Would he have been able to kill Iranian soldiers and Kurds if this hadn't occurred?

"the U.S. Government provided nearly two dozen viral and bacterial samples to Iraqi scientists in 1985--samples that included the plague, botulism, and anthrax, among other deadly diseases."

He was capable of such atrocities because the U.S. enabled him.

Doesn't this make the U.S. an accessory to the crime?
