COMMENTS:
Iraq had demonstrated not only the ability to manufacture WMDs, but to use them. Iraq had also invaded and taken over Kuwait previously. In both countries GENOCIDE had occurred (still is in Sudan). Saddam was viewed as the bigger threat to stability of the region (middle-east, ie. where all the oil is) than Sudan. The US was afraid of Iraq being able to dominate the region and control the oil. Of course, all the WMD stuff turned out to be nonsense. I knew that at the time.

However, GENOCIDE had occurred in Iraq and is now occurring in Sudan. The US is morally wrong for doing nothing to stop it in either case. Of course, no big surprise. GENOCIDE is hardly the stuff that the average person cares about - UNFORTUNATELY.
