    Saddam Hussain ruled Iraq for 24 years during which he invaded Iran to stop rebels from overthrowing the Iranian Sunni theocracy, killing a million people and almost successfully genocided the Kurdish people.

    Then, 4 NATO nations invaded Iraq while 37 willingly provided non-combatant support troops. Some NATO nations did nothing and one member opposed the invasion completely.

    The United Nations itself actually placed trade restrictions on Iraq without anybody vetoing or opposing it.

    Saddam was tried by Iraqis in Iraq after his capture.

    I’m willing to bet you simultaneously stand up for Saddam Hussain while you condemn Netanyahu, because Genocide is fine as long as its on your side, right?

    And you know what could have prevented the USA’s invasion? A Mutual Defence Pact.
