Its interesting that the fact, 10s of thousands were killed every year under Saddams reign, has been forgotten. Or that he gassed his own ing citizens, started 2 wars which killed how many thousands??? The thing is no one reported every time Saddam lined up 50 people infront of the firing squads on CNN like every incident in Iraq gets reported now. Perhaps if every time someone was killed in Iraq before Saddam was removed was splattered all over western media we'd have a better guage of how bad the violence in Iraq actually is now compared to then, in reality we don't have a clue.
