Horhey - if they wanted to really put Saddam on trial they would bring charges for the thousands of Kurds that he killed. But since he use the chemical weapons he got from us,


First, there is no evidence that any of the industrial chemicals he got from us where ever weaponized. We did not sell him crucial materials needed to make chemical weapons. That would be some European companies and most importantly, the Soviet Union.

Second, the only reason he isn't being charged with the deaths of the Kurds at Halabja is because the evidence wouldn't meet the rigors of proof in a court of law. They aren't even 100% sure that Iran didn't do it, and even if they could prove it was Iraq, they have to prove Saddam gave the orders.

The reason the particular case they have was chosen was because Saddam actually gave the orders and was present during the killings in that Shiite village.
