Since, I am a historian, and this is going on I want to share some of my findings with you all! I feel strongly in the war of Iraq. Saddam needs to go, and these are the reasons why:
WARNING IF YOU ARE YOUNG OR HAVE A WEAK STOMACH, SOME OF THIS INFO COULD BE GRUSOME!
Here is a list of SOME of the crimes committed by Saddam:
<UL type=square>
-Executed opponents and suspected potential rivals, including scores of high-level government officials and thousands of political prisoners.
-Since the 1970s, escalated and made routine the systematic torture and execution of political prisoners.
-Ordered the use of chemical weapons against Iranian forces in the 1980-88 Iran-Iraq war, and against Iraq's Kurdish population in 1988. The 1980-88 Iran-Iraq war left 150,000 to 340,000 Iraqis and 450,000 to 730,000 Iranians dead.
-Ordered the invasion and destruction of Kuwait in 1990-91 with 1,000 Kuwaitis killed.
-Directed the 1991 bloody suppression of Kurdish and Shi'a insurgencies in northern and southern Iraq with at least 30,000 to 60,000 killed.
-Ordered the destruction of southern marshes to extinguish the Shi'a insurgency.
Here are some of the crimes committed by Quasy, Saddam's son:
<UL type=square>
-Qusay swiftly helps Saddam eliminate any real or perceived threat to the regime by using bloody and shocking "tools of repression" to blackmail, force confessions, and destroy opponents.
-Authorizes interrogation, jailing, and execution of political prisoners and their families.
-Periodically ordered during 1988-99 mass prison executions of several thousand inmates ("prison cleansing").
-Led crackdown against the al-Dulaym tribe in 1995 and local Shi'a revolt in 1997.
Here are some of the crimes committed by Uday, Saddam's other son:
-History of extreme violent behavior including murder, torture, and rape of women and girls.
-Has tortured and jailed members of Iraq's national Soccer Team for losing games.
-A leading regime figure in the wholesale looting of Kuwaiti property.
-Heavily involved in Iraq's smuggling against UN sanctions, and in illicit financial dealings.This is just SOME information I have been researching on. Unlike a lot of people, I don't base my opinion when only knowing one side of the story, and these stories have led me to feel strongly against Saddam's regime. If you would like the web site I got this info from, pm or e-mail me. If I can find anything else of this nature, I will post it later!
May God Bless us in these time!
Edit: I realize that some of this is mest up! I'm not brilliant at computers...But I think you can skip over the mess ups!!
