This Is The Tyranny We Toppled
Feb 28, 2010 Political
There are a number of reasons we went to war in Iraq and whether or not one agrees with the decision to go (a decision Congress voted to approve) the fact is we have troops there and we need to have a successful outcome before we bring them home.
I know a number of people who think we should never have gone there and they have arguments to support their opinion. However, I think we needed to end the rule of tyranny in Iraq and that meant getting rid of Saddam Hussein. He was a brutal dictator and a murderer:
Three mass graves were discovered in the sub district of Dubiz in Kirkuk. Announced the Kurdish daily news paper ASO on Sunday, Feb.21st. These graves are to be excavated by the Ministry of Anfaled and Martyrs of Kurdistan regional government in a near future.
“The graves are holding remnants of children from both Chamchamal and Garmyan areas”. Sayd Fazil Amin the head of KRG martyrs office in Kirkuk told ASO, these kids were taken into captivity during 1988 Anfal campaign against the Kurds.
Anfal genocide was a campaign against the Kurds in 1980s. It was aimed at the elimination of the Kurds in Iraq, by destroying and burning Kurdish villages down. Killing and burying alive the people of these villages. It costed over 200,000 lives of innocent Kurds. The Hawler Tribune
Hussein committed genocide against the Kurds. He used chemical weapons on them and he tried to wipe them out. Two hundred thousand Kurds died by his hand, many of them children, and this alone was reason enough to get rid of him.
