@cicerone imposter,
Sorry I do not get your moral difference between some hoodlum killing of men and women inside a nation state or outside a nation state.
Saddam by the way did both to the tune of hundreds of thousands.
Second there is no international government or force that could had deal with a regional super power like Iraq.
So the Kurds would had gone on being kill in wholes scales lots as you waited for the so call international community to act until there was no more living Kurds in Iraq.
The good old evil US is the only power on earth now able to made short work of such a government as Iraq under Saddam.
We in fact save far more lives by our actions then our actions cost by a few orders of magnitudes and therefore your crying about innocent Iraqs kill is a joke on it face when you do not care about far larger numbers then being kill and others who would had been kill but for our actions.
