You might want to research things before you start repeating propiganda that's been tossed around our country since the gulf war.

Saddam used gas on the Kurds (the pastoral nomads in northern Iraq) to get them to stop attacking central Iraq/Baghdad. The Iraqi people were actually very happy that he had defended them against these people, since they were pillaging and causing general havoc on the country. This is also why Iraq has two no-fly zones, one to the north and to the south. The northern one was used by Iraqi helecopters to defend from the Kurds and the southern one was to be able to to use heli's to defend from the Shias, the southern pastoral nomads who wreaked havoc on the Iraqi people. THOSE are the people that Saddam gassed, not "his own people." The Iraqi people were quite happy with how he defended them.
