Not that it will change anyone's mind

Anytime I have argued that Hussein's government had to be overturned based on the fact the he was a butcher of his own people the response is that this was not the reason that Iraq was invaded (or liberated if you prefer) and had it been only his barbarism in question he would still be in power. One needs to look only at Sudan or Rwanda or North Korea or Cambodia or countless other examples to know this is true. So even though this will not change anyone's mind, this article form thisislondon.com is worth looking at (found via Drudge)

A mass grave containing the bodies of children, babies and their mothers has been unearthed in Iraq.
Shocked investigators reported finding "thighbones the size of matchsticks" at what they believe is the site of one of Saddam Hussein's atrocities. Among the findings-were the skeletons of unborn babies and toddlers clutching toys.
A baby had been shot in the back of its head and was found still being clutched by its mother, who had been shot in the face
