I think he killed (only - if I can say that without sounding callous') 18,000 Kurds. He may have killed 180,000 people total but that number of Kurds is to high. I think there is only four million Kurds in the whole country and I don't think killed one in twenty. I could be wrong, but I was having an argument with someone that Saddam has killed as many Iraqis as have died in the war. I think the number was pretty close. If he killed 180,000 Kurds, let alone Shitties and everyone else, then the number would not have been close. Does anyone have another number?

The way I read that article it is over a long period, twenty plus years. I think he probably killed 18K in the aftermath of the Gulf War. Its Australian media and Ty has some issues with having to go to Australia for source material, so that makes me fairly confident its good info. I believe Saddam killed way more than have died in the war, google "Molly Ivens" and "apology" to find the data on that one.
