  “Ukraine's lesson: you need to have your own nukes
  In 1994, Ukraine let itself be sweet-talked into giving up all its nuclear weapons. In return it received solemn assurances in the Budapest Memorandum that Russia, the U.K. and the U.S. would “refrain from the threat or use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of Ukraine.”
  That worked out well, didn’t it?

  And how about invading a nation for 10 years claiming they have weapons of mass destruction to be later claiming it was an “intelligence” mistake?. That indeed worked out well, dont you think?. More than one millon iraquians dead and its oil continue to be exploited by nations that were not alowed to be there in the first place.
  The soldiers that were sent there must be very proud of it too, arent they?. Im sure that huge monuments of british and americans heroes must be in every corner of Bagdhad, New York or London.

  “Under Saddam's regime many hundreds of thousands of people have died as a result of his actions, the vast majority of them Muslims. According to a 2001 Amnesty International report, “victims of torture in Iraq are subjected to a wide range of forms of torture, including the gouging out of eyes, severe beatings, and electric shocks ... some victims have died as a result and many have been left with permanent physical and psychological damage.”
  Saddam has had approximately 40 of his own relatives murdered. Allegations of prostitution are used to intimidate opponents of the regime and have been used by the regime to justify the barbaric beheading of women. There have been documented chemical attacks by the regime, from 1983 to 1988, resulting in some 30,000 Iraqi and Iranian deaths.
  Human Rights Watch estimates that Saddam's 1987-1988 campaign of terror against the Kurds killed at least 50,000 and possibly as many as 100,000 Kurds. The Iraqi regime used chemical agents to include mustard gas and nerve agents in attacks against at least 40 Kurdish villages between 1987-1988. The largest was the attack on Halabja which resulted in approximately 5,000 deaths. 2,000 Kurdish villages were destroyed during the campaign of terror.
  Saddam Hussein's regime has carried out frequent summary executions, including:
  4,000 prisoners at Abu Ghraib prison in 1984;
  3,000 prisoners at the Mahjar prison from 1993-1998;
  2,500 prisoners were executed between 1997-1999 in a “prison cleansing campaign;”
  122 political prisoners were executed at Abu Ghraib prison in February/March 2000;
  23 political prisoners were executed at Abu Ghraib prison in October 2001; and
  At least 130 Iraqi women were beheaded between June 2000 and April 2001.”
