'...and lest we forget who was first to use poison gas against Kurds in Iraq: "I do not understand the squeamishness about the use of gas. I am strongly in favour of using poison gas against uncivilised tribes." (Winston Churchill, 1919, in a memo as colonial secretary)' - food for thought, our 'hero' had a very poor view on what he termed 'uncivilised tribes', guess thats how the Neocons feel about the Iraqis.

Not to mention that Britain was gassing the Kurds in 1919 long before Saddam got a look in, how we forget history!
