Anybody who has ever had a 2-year-old child cannot help but be chilled by some of the photographs of dead families. This was recorded after Iraq was ejected from Kuwait rather than during the earlier Iran-Iraq war referenced by your article.

Sort of. I've seen it (albeit BBC news are more and more often skipped on PBS lately - lucky if I see it four days a week) and there's one thing conspicuously absent. There was no mention of what happens/happened with Kurds in Turkey. If you watch regular media, you may well forget they ever existed.
