LAST week marked the anniversary of Saddam Hussein's attack on his own people, using chemical and gas weapons on innocent men, women and children.

It was with no small amount of incredulity that I witnessed a "protest" march consisting of school truants.

They were chanting "Bush, Blair, CIA, how many kids did you kill today?"

Perhaps not as catchy but might one suggest a more suitable enquiry might be: "Hussein, Hussein how many people did you maim?"
