Babylon weeps as grave of 10,000 gives up secrets
By Steven Farrell
Our correspondent reports from a burial site where Saddam took revenge after the 1991 uprising
 
 
 
 
 
 
BABYLON has no river beside which to weep any more, but, just a few miles from Nebuchadnezzar’s ancient capital, mourners and seekers of the disappeared are gathering in their hundreds on farm-land that is rapidly delivering up a necropolis of Saddam Hussein’s victims.

In the largest mass grave uncovered so far, Iraqis claim to have found 3,000 bodies of people thought to have been murdered during the Baathist regime’s brutal suppression of the 1991 post-Gulf War uprising.

Yesterday, I counted more than 1,000 piles of desiccated remains, some in plastic bags, scattered in half a dozen clusters around the football-sized field 50 miles south of Baghdad and just north of al-Hillah.

Sad, and we've always known what he was capable of. No surprises I'm afraid.

We (the world as a whole) should be angry as hell at ourselves for not doing more sooner.  While the blood of the massacred may not be directly on our hands, certainly we could have done something.  I know hindsite is 20-20... but the feeling of having done nothing while so many were slaughtered is unsettling for me.

Yoiu hit my thoughts right on the head steve.

America should be ashamed. We are the strongest country in the world and sat on our fat tulips 12 years and let atrocitys happen.

I know there are more going on in the world and it sickens me.

This is not the first time I said this because I feel it deep, shame on us.

If you know the right thing to do and dont do it you are a coward.

This war was just.

Get off your high horses.

As bad as Saddam was, there are far, far worse "governments" to live under in other places on this world and I don't see any outpouring of sympathy or demands that we fix those places.

You rightists are only gungho about having stopped this one barbarian because your leaders have endorsed it.  Everytime a member of the opposition suggests doing something because it would be a "Just War" you guys all scream and cry like babies.

Don't make me laugh.

Just War.

:rolleyes:

If "we" finished off Sudam in 91, we wouldn't have those dead bodies and encouraging Iraqis to stand up and fight didn't help.

Bush 41 was just following the UN mandate.  Are you suggesting that "we" should have told the UN to shove it?

Bush 41 didn't, or weren't you talking about 1991?

It was a just war.  Maybe he was evil-tyrant-#1 and maybe he wasn't, but he was a cancer to the peoples on this planet.  Good riddance.
