Back a couple of months ago when another thread was running about the civilian casualties I did a few searches and the number of his own citizens that Saddam was responsible for killing was apalling. The fact that the two religious factions are currently killing each other because there is no dictator in place is equally appalling.. as are US/British/whoever troops now caught in the middle is appalling.
>I wasn't referring to his citizens. However, I doubt he'd have seen off some 650,00 since 2003, but that's a different debate (whereas this isn't a debate even) :-)
