but what about the westerns companies that sold chemical weapons to saddam? and what about the millions of children in iraq who died in iraq during the oil embargo? What about his impeccable credentials as a secularist? I know nither Bhadrakumar nor Saddam but Since you put it that way you got to clear your stand. For a long time saddam and osama were western puppets. When they refused to dance to western tunes that the anti saddam tirade began. Saddam was a western creation not Bhadrakumars.
