"There's a lot of Shi'ite and Kurdish mass graves who's residents would beg to differ with you on that count.

I don't think they were killed trying to remove Saddam.

Um, okay. As it turns out, they were. Saddam didn't just happen to dislike Kurds and Shi'ites, you realize. They didn't like him, and rebelled often. Those mass graves are filled because of his heavy handed methods in putting down insurrections. (Some of which we encouraged and then left out to dry. The Shi'ites are particularly bitter about that.)
