Thats debatible. Depends on who you talk to. Ask a neocon and they'll say 1 million, trillion mass graves. Ask a human being and they'll say most of the mass graves were from the Iran/Iraq war.

Hey, we "neocons" are human beings too, ya know!
Regarding mass graves,
Click here. Many of the bodies found at the site near al-Hatra are believed to be the bodies of Kurdish women and children thought slaughtered by the Saddam Hussein regime.
Maybe he didn't kill as many people as Hitler did, but there is evidence of his hand in killing a people group.
The Slant drilling for oil: don't you think there would be more hype about that from the 'flaming liberal crowd?" (you say tomoto, I say tomato - you say neocon, I say flaming liberal. Fair enough?)
Women / children as safety fence - during the first Iraq war, Saddam was known to hide behind foreign people, including women and children to be safe from capture & being killed.
Firing scuds into Israel just shows how much of a loose cannon (literally - scuds couldn't be aimed too well!) Saddam was!
