Yes, Saddam "honestly" believes there was nothing wrong with the Anfal campaign (poison gas, 400 villages bulldozed, residents buried in mass graves.) You see, Kurds are traitors to Iraq so he was just defending his country from those jackals.
And there was "honestly" nothing wrong with draining the marshes in Southern Iraq either (wiping out the Madan arabs as well as plenty of wildlife in the process.) Those Madan are traitors too. And the wildlife as well I bet!
And invading Kuwait and setting all their oil fields on fire was done in self-defense, "honest"! Kuwait had a secret plan to destroy Iraq's economy by pumping more oil . . . though I honestly wonder why none of the other OPEC nations thought this was grounds for invasion. Oh well, more traitors I guess.
