"thanks i didnt' know about that at all.
so... there was talk of genocide..."
Well, only if you call 400,000 dead "talk"
I didn't post the link, but I quoted that same article.
Here is another one I quoted from:

I don't know what, if any, motives there were by people in our government, but stories like these are why *I* initially supported going into this country.
There is a huge part of me that is ashamed we didn't do more to help sooner.
Of course, I also wish we had done it better. Deposing the government there was easy. There should have been a better plan for rebuilding.

"i still think it should be up to the UN."So do I - that is if the UN would actually do something.
As it turned out, lots of those who should have been doing something were instead making tons of money off the so-called "oil for food" program.
