Iraq, Saddam Hussein (1979-2003): 300,000 DEAD

61,000 residents of Baghdad executed by Saddam

180,000 Kurds killed in Anfal

60,000 Shiites in 1991

50,000 misc. others executed

"Human rights officials" est.: 500,000

Iraqi politicians: OVER A MILLION KILLED UNDER SADDAM'S RULE

THESE DON"T INCLUDE THE MILLION OR SO DEAD IN THE IRAN-IRAC WAR

SADDAM WAS NO ANGEL: HE DID THIS TO HIS OWN PEOPLE.

Oh, yes, the Middle East would be fine if the U.S. would just leave it alone.

Islam has produced horrific history for it's people. The U.S. had nothing to do with it.
