Saddam gassed his own people...
but Bush just sat idly by watching his die.

Is there any moral difference between those two acts?

1. But Saddam had mass graves
Bush doesn't even want to identify the remains before he dumps the bodies into his.

10. Something just sunk in
I wonder if there will have to be mass burials for the NOLA victims?

That would be so sad, I don't even want to think about it.

11. heard a pathologist on duty on NPR -- bodies unidentifiable beyond sex
Only DNA (very expensive) could ID many of the corpses.

16. After the Tsunami there were specialists from all over the world
identifying the victims. If it could be done in Indonesia or wherever it could certainly be done in the...


Well, never mind.

14. I think they will have a huge
mass cremation.

They can't bury anything in NOLA. The cemeteries are above ground.

15. He's even trying to suppress the actual NUMBERS of the dead
through Republican misadventure, too.

They have cut funds at least four years in a row for the projects which would have kept this from happening.

They may as well have "gassed them," and everyone knows it.

I hope there's some way enough pressure can be placed to force publication of the NUMBER of the people who have been killed.

3. LMAO - and Bush tortured people and sent men to die based on a lie.

7. and they never follow that "gassed his own people line" with the fact that
we promised to support them if they staged an uprising against Hussein, and then when they did we said "shit we didn't think you'd really do it....we were only kidding" and then left them on their own.

12. no, he imprisoned them without sustenance at gunpoint
Those imprisoned in the Superdome death camp died of dehydration and starvation while stormtroopers guarded its gates with machine guns blazing on his orders.

13. Even worse!
Does this make Bush morally inferior to Saddam?

And I'm seriously asking this.
