Chemical Arms in the Middle East
Where was the outrage from the United States and the world community when Saddam Hussein used chemical weapons against innocent Iraqi Kurds and left their villages full of rotting corpses?

For letting Hussein get away with his massacres and for aiding him during the Iran-Iraq war, the world now has only itself to blame.
