Even if this is not accurate, even if there were more deaths under Saddam, The USA can’t afford to be the world’s policeman and rid the world of all tyrants.
Bush Disagreed with the Lancet, which means it has Zero credibility now.
But every other study they have done is ok. Just not that one.
So you are not allowed to bring that up.
Go find the lowest estimated Iraqi death toll, and that will be the official US stance.
I think http://www.iraqbodycount.org/ is the one most people rely on, because the number, curiously has been roughly 65,000 since the Lancet was published.
Whats peculiar is when Saddam's gassing of the Kurds is pointed out, the largest possible number is given, but when Bush's death toll is tallied, it is the lowest number.
http://www.realtruth.org/news/061230-rt-alert-saddam.htmlUnder his regime, documented chemical attacks, from 1983 to 1988, resulted in the deaths of some 30,000 Iraqis and Iranians. It has been estimated that Saddam Hussein’s 1987-88 campaign of terror—which included mustard gas and nerve agent attacks—destroyed 2,000 Kurdish villages and killed at least 50,000 Kurds, and perhaps as many as 200,000.
And when you google "Saddam Gasses Kurds" ALOT of links questioning whether or not Saddam in fact Gassed the Kurds.
