Sohail,

You are so correct that these deaths were the fault of America.

Absolutely it was the US's fault that Saddam refused to cooperate with the UN inspection teams. It was also the US's fault that Saddam misused the Oil for Food program to line his own pockets and the pockets of his top officals instead of feeding his people, and let us not forget that it is the US's fault that Saddam refused to comply with the fifty (50) plus UN resolutions dealing with his Human Rights abuses and weapon production..

As for why he wasn't taken out during the first gulf war it was the Coalition and the UN that made the US stop before Baghdad was taken.

Now Sohail i must ask how much blame you lay at the feet of Saddam for all the suffering, the torture and rape rooms, the kidnappings and disappearences of his citizens, or was all that the fault of the US as well?
