“...From the perspective of the Kurdish people -- and I dare say the
majority of the Iraqi people -- it was worth it,” he said. “War is
never a good option, but given our history and the brutality of
Saddam’s regime, it may have been the only other option to end the
genocidal campaign waged by Saddam...

...“All Iraqis lived under a regime that had complete disdain for
human life,” he said. “Executions and killings continued at will.
Thousands of Iraqis were being sent to the mass graves..

Saddam was a menace to the Kurds, to the other Iraqi communities, and
an inherent danger to the region. He was, from our perspective in this
part of the world, a grave and mortal danger that we could never be
safe from while he was still around....”


The Kurds in Turkey are menanced by the Turks! Yet we have not
invaded!


google any part of the above if you are really interested Â*to hear
anything about this from the Iraqi perspective
