Do you think Saddam Hussein had the same
right to use WMD to save the
lives of Iraqi servicemen while fighting
Iran and internal rebellion?
Did Al-Qaeda have the same right to deliberately
target civilians in
their
war with the USA, specifically WTC?

If Saddam hadn't invaded Iran there would
not have been a need to
defend
"Iraqi
servicemen."

Complaints about his use of WMD relate to
uses considerably pre-dating
his invasion of Kuwait.

Neither of us mentioned Kuwait, we said Iran.

What is the relevance of who started a war when
the idea of saving servicemens lives is an issue.
Besides, it was a war
where the US actively assisted Iraq.


At a time when Iran was considered by Americans as Public Enemy #1. The
feeling
was that the more Iranians the Iraqis kill, the fewer we'll have to kill
when and if we ever go after them ourselves.

Which doesn't answer my question about a country saving lives of its
servicemen by using WMD. It seems that some regard the use as OK
if their side does it but bad if the other side does it.
