Tracy,

I am not sure, was he?

This was the list

- Torture of political dissidents in Iraq
- Taking money and resources sent as aid for the country, and using it for his own gain
- Repeated and continuous violations of U.N. resolutions
- Paying 25-30K for Palestinian suicide bombers
- Attempting to purchase nuclear material from the Russian black market

Second there is corruption, can't see the gassing of the kurds. By the way, are we sure it was Saddam? I will try to find something for you later about this, I make no promises.
