We are finding new mass graves every day. Saddam Hussein committed a crime by using chemical weapons... He waged two wars on Iran and Kuwait. He murdered and executed hundreds and hundreds of Iraqis.
He killed people to protect them, ... He put hundreds of thousands of people in mass graves to protect Iraq.
My reply was that the Kurdish people welcome the presence of American forces in Kurdistan in order to defend the freedom they enjoy and to prevent being attacked with weapons of mass destruction.
Saddam Hussein committed many crimes, the most important of which are the mass graves that hold hundreds of thousands of Iraqis including children, women, the elderly and men who were buried without a trial.
