I've known about it for a long time, especially about the Marsh Arabs. Saddam wiped out a way of life that has been around since before history was recorded. It was one of the most beautiful, fruitful, and interesting places in the world. A way of life that was totally unique. Saddam built dams to punish them and the marshlands dried up. All the fish, and water fowl, and a lifestyle that people had been living for thousands of years....gone. Most of the Marsh Arabs are now dead, only a very few of them remain.

I remembered about the marshes and the good news is that water is flowing in that region once again after they got rid of the dams of Saddam! The crime that Saddam did against his own people should have had every member of the United Nations demanding his removal instead of trying to keep him in power!
