The last episode covers three decades of Saddam's killing of political opponents, which continued right up to the toppling of his regime on April 9, 2003. Saddam occasionally emptied his jails of political prisoners and killed them to provide space for new prisoners. Their organs were often extracted for use by ailing Baathist party members. Certain days were set aside for specific surgical procedures such as the transplanting of eye parts.

To me this craven attitude is based in good part on racism. The loss of lives of people not the same color as we are means those lives are worth less and not worth stirring oneself to action or even outrage.

I agree. This is racism. The UN wasn't condemned because the thousands of lives lost on their watch in Rwanda were black.
Liberals are total hypocrites.
