So what about the million or so people Irag citizens had killed in the
run up to the "war"? Certain Muslims who say they are being hard done
by seem to conveniently forget these atrocities.

You appear to have conveniently forgotten the 1.2 million Iraqis who
died during the period of sanctions enforced by the US and UK between
1991 and 2002, most of whom were children.

Iraqi's were killing innocent Kurds for instance in 1988 before the UN
resolution in the early 1990's. The evidence on the wholescale
poisoning of innnocent children and people seems to be a point not
disputed in the press coverage.

Some of us spoke out about the Ba'ath terror in Iraq in the early
1980s, a time when the UK government was all in favour of Mr
Hussein. If there is going to be a Dutch action on the subject of
who spoke out first then the UK government will always lose.

The British were killing innocent Kurds with poison gas in the 1920s,
a point not disputed by anybody.
