Those are the Shia that you are referring to, right?

Those amongst others that opposed Saddam's regime over the years.
And what GW, Sr did or didn't do has no bearing on what GW, Jr did do.
If GW, SR had not listened to the UN and Powell, who told him that the people of Iraq would overthrow SH on their own OR had supported the Shia Revolution, GW, Jr would bnever have sent troops into Iraq.

At least a modicum of historical perspectivew would be sufficient in most instances. Simply knowing the US' shortcomings in specific instances doesn't paint a complete picture. It just leaves you gullable enough to believe trolls like moon.
