Why Removing Saddam Was Right

Another mass grave was found in Iraq recently:

Many of the bodies found at the site near al-Hatra are believed to be the bodies of Kurdish women and children thought slaughtered by the Saddam Hussein regime.

A pool reporter recently was taken to the site, and the evidence gathered at the site — a remote wadi or valley that cannot be seen by passing vehicles — is expected to be used in the war crimes trial against Saddam Hussein and his Baathist allies.

“A perfect place for execution,” Greg Kehoe, the head of the Regime Crime Liaison Office and leader of the forensic excavation, said on Wednesday.

“It is my personal opinion that this is a killing field,” Kehoe told reporters during a visit to the site south of Mosul.

“Someone used this field on significant occasions over time to take bodies up there, and to take people up there and execute them.”

But hey, removing Saddam was just wrong, so let’s put him back in power. After all, it was only brown people he killed, right?

    Nice job of changing the goalposts Jay!

    If you want to read something interesting on the US(in french only, sorry) : not a democracy under this administration; dictated by lobbys, extremist on religion:

    And by the way, the author is AMERICAN and JEWISH!

  2. It’s only black people being killed in Sudan and Liberia. Why should we care whether they’re being killed. Brown-skinned people are apparently the only ones under a brutal dictatorship worthy of liberation by a nation who has more pressing national security concerns of its own.

  3. I’m all for military action in places like Darfur if it becomes necessary to prevent the genocide there and protect Sudanese Africans from Sudanese Arab genocide.

  4. Jay,
    that’s only ONE question answered out of three. Care to answer the two others or this is how you deal with embarassing question? You just ignore them!! Of course, you then would have to concede the war was “illegal”…

    As for military actions, I think the US cannot really afford to stay in Irak. Sending more troops in another country…yeah right…

    That is something you have always underestimated during this crisis: taking care of “Saddam only” means leaving all others (incluidng Ossama) off the hook for a while. Now, your army is stuck in Irak for years, and all other crisis cannot be taken care of. Of course, your allies could help, but they also are way over their capacities. Your former allies will not move a finger to help.

    Can’t wait for next november 2nd, when the US will finally be back in the world community. If Bush wins, then it will be 4 more very difficult years for your guys over there.
