>>The Left will say these are the babies starved by the UN Sanctions...remember, 500,000 babies a year die because of them...<<

Not anymore. (Thanks to the courage of President Bush and bravery of the men and women serving in the armed forces of the "Coalition of the Willing.")

The Left's claims concerning the starving children, even if accepted as true (which I don't), do not cancel out the fact that these were young, healthy people who were deliberately murdered because of their ethnicity as part of a systematic government policy. That is, of course, nearly a textbook definition of genocide.

With the notable exception of criticizing the United States, European governments and politicians have lately manifest a nearly pathological inability to recognize these crimes at their beginnings, name them for what they really are, and take decisive action. If they were to do that, they might have to actually live up to their treaty obligations and that might make them unpopular with the deluded portion of their electorates that like to think of themselves as upright and moral people but who are not willing to undertake any real risks or make any personal sacrifices.

Far easier to blame everything on the Americans and do nothing.

We will see what they say when they are dhimmi...
