Did Saddam Hussein Gas His Own People?
Reality Checks Needed During War
by Don Sellar
No doubt, Saddam has mistreated Kurds during his rule. But it's misleading to say, so simply and without context, that he killed his own people by gassing 5,000 Kurds at Halabja.
The fog of war that enveloped the battle at Halabja in 1988 never really lifted. With a new war threatening in Iraq, it's coming back stronger than ever.

You Canastuckians have become a thorn in our sides. If you keep spreading rumors, we'll have to take over Canastuckistan and steal your wimmenz! Saddam did it. We know he did it. He knows he did it. The dead Kurds knows he did it. Hell my mum's dog knows he did it.
