Your ignoring the Halabja attack, which the US and the world strongly condemned. "The Halabja massacre took place in Iraqi Kurdistan on 16 March 1988, when thousands of Kurds were killed by a large-scale Iraqi chemical attack. To date, the Halabja massacre remains the largest chemical weapons attack directed against a civilian-populated region in human history,[5] killing between 3,200 and 5,000 people and injuring 7,000 to 10,000 more. In 2010, the Supreme Iraqi Criminal Tribunal officially defined the Halabja chemical attack as a genocidal massacre against the Kurdish people during the time of Iraqi president Saddam Hussein." |
You are mixing up the Iraq wars. It is easy enough. The 1991 invasion in Iraq was led by the US under George H.W. Bush. The 1998 attack predates this. But we are talking about the 2003 invasion of Iraq, led by the US under George W. Bush (the son of george H.W. Bush). You cannot use the Halabja massacre as justification for an war with more than a decade later, especially if said massacre already lead to another war effort before. The 2003 war invented "evidence" as justification. I guess George W. bush wanted to follow in the footsteps of his daddy. It seems you are not very educated about recent historical events, if you mixed these two up.
