Why compare it to 911? Let's compare it to the Iraq/Iran war, the genocide of the Kurds, his invasion and plans for Kuwait, the genocide of the marsh Arabs or the sale of food-for-oil. Hell, let's compare it to the number of people and families that 'disappeared' under Saddam. Oh wait, we can't, because no international witness was allowed.
The Kurds are not blameless in all this. Read about Mustapha and Masoud Barzani circa 1952 to the present.
The Marsh Arabs? Saddam thought he was doing the right thing when he drained the swamps and estuaries.. sort of like Israel reclaiming the swamp land in Palestine.
