Saddam Hussein was charged April 4 with genocide in the deaths of 50,000 Iraqis. Hussein's soldiers did the dirty work; Hussein just gave the orders.
Estimates of the deaths of Iraqi civilians in Operation Iraqi Freedom, or whatever it's being called these days, run from 33,000 to 100,000, depending on who's doing the counting.
George W. Bush gave the orders that killed tens of thousands of Iraqis, so why isn't he being charged with genocide? Oh yeah, Americans are the good guys.

The fact that George W. may be a misguided fool and has killed almost a hundred thousand people in the supposed mission to democritize the world, deosnt take away the fact that Hussain still killed 50000 men, women and children. Dont forget that although we detain and embarass prisoners at Guantonemo Bay, Saddam tortured thousands of people in ways that make even warmongering Bush cringe.
