But What About the Others Who Have Killed in Iraq?

Robert Fisk: http://www.robert-fisk.com/home_page.htm offers perhaps the best informed and certainly most penetrating and honest reportage out of the Middle East where he has lived for a number of years. His column today on Hussein: "A dictator created then destroyed by America" http://news.independent.co.uk/world/fisk/article2112555.ece tells it as it is. While the Iraqi dictator killed and tortured many thousands, those who chose to go to war against him, particularly Bush and Blair, have done in not many fewer Iraqis as well as their own citizens through their mad, illegal crusade against a figure partially created by some of the very Americans who have chosen to war against him.

Read Fisk who puts things better than I can.
