:::Excuse me Mister, you may know how to spell the party name but you are talking nonsense. I don't care about your so-called "non-Sunni Arab" part of Saddam's deal because it is a plain known fact that any non-Sunni Arab didn't so much "serve" the regime but rather collaborated so as to himself from the dangers of what happened to the rest of the ethnic group. Elvekis, do you know about Halabja mister? Most probably not, so I'll tell you - it was a war crime in which Iraqi government war planes flew over a town populated by Kurds and spray-gassed the population with a nuclear substance. He killed 10,000 in one day, is that not Mass Genocide?? And what if they were Kurds? They were Iraqi Kurds - so they were his OWN PEOPLE. It wasn't just Iran he went towar with, and Kuwait he was invading, but he waged a war against the Kurds who he couldn't assimilate into Arab - and then he went to war with the Shites when they tried to revolt against him. He crushed the revolt and killed tens of thousands - he held a country of 30 million hostage, food shortages, starvation, collapsed economy, NO OIL exportation, and what did the idiot do? Develop WMD cuz his intent was to destroy the Earth. What you say about other countries - Mister. You get the Labour Party in the UK and the Labour Party in other countries - it's not the same one, it is just a name. But whilst the majority Shites and Kurds lived in Shanty Town Iraq, some left with no houses, how about Saddam's minority? Living in palaces and luxury hoes with the breaze of the Mediteranean flowing through. Saddam's son had a passion for BMW and Mercedes whilst Iraqi's rode camels. And did you know that not all of Iraq is even Muslim? How must life have been for the poor Christians of Iraq subjected to Saddam's Islamic Sharia Sunni-only hostility. You cannot even imagine the carnage that Iraqi Christians suffered at the hands of that animal. You want to learn your facts before you go defending tyrants.
