-Caveat Lector- FLW:
Thank you for your reply. I am having difficulty here because my messages are being bounced back to me by CTRL, so the rest of the list will not have a clue what your reply referred to. For some reason my original comment on Kurds/WMD was allowed through, but now we are back to the "blocked" stage I was at on the list prior to that. I can only assume some selective mechanism is operating. I saw your two points about (1) gas is not a WMD, only nukes, and (2) the USA helped Saddam earlier on. My letter contained a point which I thought replied to the first of these. 5000 Kurds (even though that number is disputed) is a "mass" of people, and most discussions of WMD go wider than nuclear weapons. I believe you are correct about the US helping Saddam earlier on. I have looked at the weapons source statistics, and the contributions of France and Russia towards Saddam's arsenal were also large.

The Iranians gassed, the Iraqis gassed, the Kurds were victims. You ignored the point that the US helped Saddam manufacture his poison. The US was responsible for the deaths of 100,000/s of Shiites and Kurds when it formented an uprising against Saddam in 1991 after the Gulf War - then had second thoughts about permitting the Shiites from taking power, afraid they would ally themselves with the Iranian Shiites. The US permitted Saddam to use his heliocopters after we had established a 'no fly zone' to butcher the Shiites and Kurds. Now we cry crocodile tears.... The WMD BS is agiprop invented by the neo-cons. flw www.ctrl.org DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.
