Hmmmm ! I rather think those "useful idiots" to use Lenins phrase, are making war in the Gulf, and associated deaths more likely than less likely.

Still those who wish to support Hussain are entotled to thier views, views which would prove fatal if held in Iraq, or any fundementalist state.

A statistic that I will query - 200,000 civilian dead - Possibly, how many of those were killed by the Iraqui's, and how many by airstrikes ?

5000 children dying a month ? Possibly - How many of those were killed by the refusal of the Saddam Government to cooperate with the UN over oil for food and drugs ??

Great isn't it, you hold your whole population as hostages, and then blame the wicked west for it.
