Did Saddam really starve his people?

[cmd]

Perhaps I missed something, but I never saw hungry, emaciated people in Iraqi films. I didn't see a lot of over weight Iraqis either. I understand the people had enough food to last for six weeks at the time of the invasion. Just what is the story?

5. Just like we are doing in Cuba

I never saw an emaciated Iraqi on any film...have you?
Remember, there were tons of food and supplies distributed to every Iraqi family in preparation for the US invasion. No Iraqis were discriminated against as I understand it.

7. Saddam Was A Ruthless Dictator

But he also heavily invested in health, education and social programs prior to the Gulf War.
