I would also like to see what kind of rationale you will pull out that can justify mass murder at one time in history, and condemn it 20 years later. To me, it is called pure hypocracy. Are you able to change my viwepoint ? I am a rather open minded person, so just give it a try.

Iran was very militarily strong, with a large population for cannon fodder. Iran politics was on a mid-east power grab. Number 2 on the power scale was Iraq, with a smaller population for cannon fodder. The ongoing attrition between the both of them would have allowed Iran to win.. thus an Iran dictatoriship of the whole middle east would have been in play.
The game was to leave two castrated dictatorships in the middle east.
I don't understand your "mass murder" .
If that is your defination of "War" ?
Then it will be good news that democracys never commit "mass murder" against each other. So the more democracys there are the less chance of more "mass murder". So there is now another historical chance to create more democracys in the world. Bingo
