Saddam in Court

List of Major Charges:

  • Killing of religious figures in 1974.

  • Killing the Kurdish Barzani clan in 1983.

  • Gassing of Kurds in Halabja in 1988.

  • Killing members of political parties over the last 30 years.

  • The 1986-1988 "Anfal" campaign of displacing Kurds.

  • The 1990 invasion of Kuwait.

  • The suppression of the 1991 uprisings by Kurds and Shiites.



More specific charges to be filed later.

Let's see..How many of these actions did the U.S. offer tacit or direct support for, or turn a blind eye toward? A case can be made for all of them. Yes. Even Kuwait1.

"This is a theater, the real criminal is Bush." - S. Hussein 7-1-2004

Saddam was, and is, a very bad guy. He is also largely a U.S. creation.

Let's not create any more monsters.

1April Glaspie of the U.S. State Department told Saddam Hussein, "I have a direct instruction from the President to seek better relations with Iraq.. But we have no opinion on the Arab-Arab conflicts, like your border disagreement with Kuwait."
