I researched what you mentioned, can you please be more specific with the examples.

Wrong again. Even "Irak" did not exist as a separate entity, it was part of the Turkish empire before WW1 and then, after the defeat, created by the British government aka BP. The function of Kuwait was to landlock Irak, so the Brittons were able to control the Rumallah oilfields perfectly. The border has ALWAYS been disputed.

Also, the K.-people that live there are nothing different from peoples that live in Irak.

Kuwait was and is never part of Iraq after it was created to be a separate nation. Always had been, always will be no matter what reasons you have.

GI's rape and kill uncountable girls even in countries where they are at peace with (Japan, Thailand, Philippines, South-Korea, South-Vietnam, Europe, ...), almost unnoticed, with impunity.

The terror policy of (mainly) the US against humanitarian help for Irak (aka embargo) led to some 1 million child deaths, totally avoidable, and part of genocidal strategy. These conservative and moderate figures can be found i.a. in the UNO. The crimes still await repayment, but another villain's gone.

Nope. Kuwait was always a part of Irak. It is a (British, mostly) colonial construct that was never accepted by 98% of the Arabs. Moreover, the vile policies of US and the West led Saddam to believe that he was right in doing what he did. They were out for war and diplomacy was NO OPTION from the very outset.

I never killed hundreds of thousands of babies. I suppose you believe those babies had something to do with starting that war or were enemy combatants or were merely casualties of war. You're a sick pig who deserves to go where your filthy hero went.

[trojanspaghetti]

The U.S. soldiers who raped and killed a 13 year old girl were brought to justice and they were sentenced for more than 100 years. I don't see our enemies doing that to their own insurgents since they approved bombing civilians in purpose to terrorize them and never followed the Geneva convention.

Also they were NOT a hundreds thousands of U.S. war crimes in Iraq, stop inflating numbers. They are some war crimes committed by U.S. in Iraq but nothing compares to that of insurgents activities.
