The United Nations sanctions killed millions of Iraqi's? no Saddam Hussein killed millions of Iraqi's during the United Nations sanctions:
Then in January 1995, I met Hussein Wael a masonry builder who bribed his way out of Iraq at the cost of $5000. His testimony confirmed the claim that Saddam spent £1.22 bn building new palaces and renovating old ones, while his people were starving.
We've all seen these palaces in the news, complete with gold faucets, marble floors and splendid art works, he built quite a few of them after the Gulf war, while people in his country starved to death.

Saddam also managed to shell out $25K a pop to families of Palestinian suicide bombers and $10K a pop to 'martyrs' of the conflict while the sanctions apparently starved Iraqi citizens. $35,000,000 in total rewards from Sept. 2000 on.
But, of course, there's no direct evidence he supported
al Qaeda terrorists, so his support of other terrorist groups is apparently moot and he should have been left in power to go about his business. Especially seeing as how he was surely about to give into the demands of the U.N. after twelve years.
I think Saddam was just misunderstood.
