So now your narrative is that the entire country was systematically disarmed so that a massacre could take place, but has re-armed in the last, what, six months?

I've seen video of soldiers breaking down doors, shoving people to the floor, and taking all of the guns in the house so don't even pretend it didn't happen. As far as the massacre, America is responsible for the deaths of at least 1 million Iraqi people and probably closer to 2 million. This is through 2 illegal invasions on the part of America, and bombing Iraq daily for 12 years, setting up illegal "no fly" zones, searching homes illegally...including those of the leader of their country, keeping Iraq from life saving medicines and food, destroying Iraq's ability to defend itself and thus allowing a flood of terrorists into their country, imprisoning people who have committed no crime, torturing them (sometimes to death), etc.

I don't know when they decided to start allowing people to have guns again. Perhaps it was when they had their fake election?

You keep spouting those exaggerated numbers ... Oh hell, throw in a few other reasons like global warming and some other BS - I'm sure you could claim more like 3 or 4 million. Why don't you just add "distraction or stress" and make America responsible for every death over there.

Yeah Iraq sure was defending itself when IT INVADED Kuwait - lol.

Torturing all those people who committed no crime - yeh - thats what we are there to do - just for the friggin fun of it too! We've got nothing better to do, do we?

Yes, generally speaking, when you see something happening, it's true. Perhaps in your warped little mind this isn't the case. Do you often hallucinate?

No, I keep detailing real numbers. The 2003 invasion alone has resulted in a million Iraqi deaths.

Each and every single death in Iraq that has resulted from America's invasion of Iraq in 1991, the bombing and starvation of Iraq for 12 years, and the other illegal invasion of Iraq (including those by insurgents we allowed in) are America's fault.

Actually Yes, Iraq was defending itself when it invaded Kuwait. Kuwait had been practicing slant drilling for years and was warned many times about stealing Iraqi oil, but they refused to stop. Iraq told them if they didn't stop, they'd be invaded. They still didn't stop. Iraq told America that they intended to invade Kuwait and America said it was none of our concern and we wouldn't get involved.

Ever heard of Abu Ghraib prison? The overwhelming majority of the people in that prison weren't guilty of anything...not even jay walking.
