He needs to go, maybe then the people can be free.
and if we don't act I predict a terrorist group will buy, (maybe 3rd hand) chemical weapons or biological weapons (he has enough to kill everyone on the planet) and sept 11th will look like childs play.
Don't dismiss this, the us / uk government is so sure of this they are willing to destablize an already weak economy by spendijng billions disarming him.

Yes, he did gas a village of 5000 in the North, villagers that we arsked by CIA to overturn Sadam Hussein. When it becan=me nasty, the CIA exited and left the kurds to die...
Take the time to read: Where the fuck were the americasns????
In 1991, after the Gulf War, President Bush encouraged
Iraqis to rise up and overthrow Saddam Hussein. In the
south, among the Shia Arabs who make up some 60
percent of Iraq's population, there were revolts in
several towns; and there were also uprisings among
northern Iraq's Kurds, who make up between 15 and 20
percent of Iraq's 23 million people. The US did
nothing. The administration was alarmed at the
prospect that Iraq would be torn apart, that the Shias
would lead a bloody Islamic revolution dominated by
neighboring Shia Iran, and that the Kurds would
declare independence, provoking angry and violent
reactions from, among others, America's close ally
Turkey, with its own restive Kurdish population.
Indeed it even signaled discreetly to Saddam Hussein,
who was then rallying the Sunni Arab Iraqis, who have
always dominated his country's politics despite being
only some 15 percent of the population, that he should
go ahead and crush the rebellions.[1] With
characteristic savagery he did so.
All across Kurdish-dominated northern Iraq the Kurds
had seized control, but now Saddam's forces came
roaring back. Terrified that they would again be
gassed, approximately a million Kurds fled toward the
Iranian and Turkish borders. There they were greeted
by hordes of reporters from the world press. The sight
of desperate Kurds clinging to the mountainsides on US
television embarrassed the Bush administration, which
decided it had to do something. Saddam was told to
pull back his forces, and US and British troops
entered northern Iraq. The British and Americans then
began to patrol a no-fly zone above the region, the
refugees returned, and in this way an autonomous,
though internationally unrecognized, Kurdish entity
emerged. Today 3.6 million Kurds live here, free from
Saddam's tyranny. The US and British troops have gone
but the no-fly zone is still enforced and much of this
part of Kurdistan, which had been reduced to rubble by
Saddam especially in brutal suppression campaigns in
the late 1980s, has been rebuilt.
