Yes, but the “those guys are worse” argument is weak sauce.
/ / / /Yes, 15,000 more dead than previously reported is awful, and very very sad, and we all it were not so.
400,000 in mass graves by the Saddam regime - just that much worse, and how many MORE than 15,000 would be dead now?
Actually, there have been only about 5000 found. The 400,000 is taken from a Tony Blair speech, and unfortunately for Blair, has no basis in reality.
