What makes religion and politics so different?

I believe those were UN Sanctions. And the deaths there due to politics and religion predated that, too and predated the first Gulf War, and probably predated Saddam as well.

Oh, but I forgot, you're one of those morons who thinks the US is always the bad guy.

Yes it was UN sanctions but it was the US that enforced them and kept them in place. The Clinton administration knew that thousands where dieing but didn't care.
