U.N. Security Council Resolution 688 (5 April 1991) condemned Saddam Hussein’s repression of the Iraqi civilian population. The resolution also requires Saddam Hussein to end his repression of the Iraqi people and to allow immediate access to international humanitarian organizations to help those in need of assistance. |
Did they lift trading sanctions to allow him to do this? erm no
| quote: |
Saddam Hussein has repeatedly violated these provisions and has expanded his violence against women and children, continued his horrific torture and execution of innocent Iraqis. |
So do many countries in the middle east, but they all sell Uncle Sam their Oil so they turn a blind eye 
| quote: |
Saddam has continued to violate the basic human rights of the Iraqi people and has continued to control all sources of information (including the killing of over 500 journalists in the past decade).
|
North Korea, Singapore, Saudi Arabia, Iran, and countless other countries do this as well, do the Allies repeatedly bomb their borders?? think you know the answer
| quote: |
Saddam has also harassed humanitarian aid workers, expanded his crimes against Muslims, has withheld food from families that offer their children to his regime and has continued to subject Iraqis to unfair imprisonment. |
Amnesty International say one of their biggest enemies is the chief of Los Angeles police department (according to the promotional video we were shown when I was at college), due to the improper practices that take place when people are imprisoned, and the harrassment amnesty international members recieve when they complain, yet again, does anyone care about that? you guessed it....

The government of Iraq uses military force to repress civilian populations throughout the county, resulting in the deaths of thousands and the destruction of entire villages. |
So does Israel
| quote: |
Iraq has refused to allow the U.N.’s special Rapporteur for human rights to return to Iraq since his first visit in 1992. It has also refused to allow the stationing of human rights monitors as required by the U.N. resolution. |
wasn't he the one that was accused of Spying?, and there was proof he was reporting to American intelligence.....
| quote: |
Iraqi authorities routinely practice extrajudicial summary or arbitrary executions throughout the country. The total number of prisoners that have been executed in the past five years runs into thousands, including hundreds of arbitrary executions in the last months of 1998 at Abu Gharib and Radwaniyah prisons near Baghdad.

You're not going to see me arguing that thats a good thing, but Iraq aren't the only country to have an improper judicial system
| quote: |
In the 1970’s and 1980’s, the Iraqi regime destroyed over 300 Kurdish villages. The destruction of Kurdish and Turkomen homes is still going on in Iraqi-controlled areas of northern Iraq. |
with weapons supplied by the Americans, who, I hasten to add, knew what the Iraqi's were doing!
| quote: |
In northern Iraq the government is continuing its campaign of forcibly deporting Kurdish and Turkomen families to southern governments. As a result, approximately 900,000 citizens are internally displaced throughout Iraq.
|
Where else does that kind of thing happen.....hmmmmm.......
| quote: |
Iraqi security agents reportedly decapitated numerous women and men in front of their family members. According to Amnesty International, the victims’ heads were displayed in front of their homes for several days. |
reportedly, no proper evidence....
| quote: |
Iraq’s 1988-1989 Anfal campaign subjected the Kurdish people in northern Iraq to the most widespread attack of chemical weapons ever used against a civilian population. In the town of Halabja alone, an estimated 5,000 civilians were killed and over 10,000 were injured.
|
as sponsored by the United States of America
| quote: |
In 2000, the Iraqi authorities reportedly introduced tongue amputations as a form of punishment for persons who criticize Saddam Hussein or his family.
|
reportedly.......no real evidence of it happening though....
In Saudi Arabia peoples hands are amputated, yet America aren't bombing them......
| quote: |
There are widespread reports that food and medicine that could have been made available to the general public, including children, have been stockpiled in warehouses or diverted for the personal use of government officials.
|
where from? oh right, you copied and pasted this, don't know whether any of it's actuallytrue
Now I'm pretty sure Renegade or John Smith could come in and post a list twice as long of UN treaties that America, Britain, Israel, France etc... have broken......
and nothing you've posted there is good enough evidence to goto war over, if it was we'd be at war with pretty much everyone!
8 cents now!
how big a clue do you need?
