Good article Ed. Well disturbing really but well researched. Without wanting to open the whole can of worms on Iraq that family should've been removed much earlier.

{Ed001's Note - agreed mate. When I first left school I did some temp work in a factory, 12 hour shifts and they put me with a bunch of other temps, who happened to be Kurdish refugees from Iraq. They told me all about what it was like and I used to think they were just trying to con the young, gullible kid who was in his first job. When I did my research, I found a number of the stories they told were true and even worse than they had told me!}

This is sooo sad reading this Ed.

{Ed001's Note - it is horrible to think people can treat others in that way.}

Unpopular opinion, but removing that man and his family was the correct decision.

{Ed001's Note - that was never an unpopular thing to do, the question is why it was not done sooner?}

I don't know, a lot of people still say we should never have gotten involved. Anyway, a great read. Thanks ed.

{Ed001's Note - they would never have taken charge in the first place without intervention, so, if they are referring to that, I would agree. But the Husseins had to be removed.}

I think its all the lies like WMD that got us in there and then the subsequent mess they created with that people take issue with. If they had said we taking them down as its the right thing to do and there's all that lovely oil then fair enough. It would always have been opposed by the usual crowd but most people would have been less concerned. Although they should have done it in 1991 rather than leaving it to fester and turn into a bigger problem.
