European duplicity

I am feeling sick to my stomach right now. I had seen reports of this newest mass grave in Iraq - estimates of about 300,000 men women and children bulldozed into shallow graves. The children clutching toys. Charles at LGF pointed to a link at BBC with one short sentence that really made me feel great... The overall story: bq. A mass grave being excavated in a north Iraqi village has yielded evidence that Iraqi forces executed women and children under Saddam Hussein. And the task of gathering information as to who died and recovering their remains for proper burial: bq. Mr Kehoe said that work to uncover graves around Iraq, where about 300,000 people are thought to have been killed during Saddam Hussein's regime, was slow as experienced European investigators were not taking part. The line that makes me feel really friendly to Old Europe - the axis of weasels: bq. The Europeans, he said, were staying away as the evidence might be used eventually to put Saddam Hussein to death. Emphasis mine. Sick bastards... They engaged in corrupt activities all during Saddam's regime, used the inherent weakness of the United Nation to line their pockets with the corrupt Oil-For-Food game and now they don't want to foster any chance that their best buddy Saddam will come to the justice he so richly deserves.
