Was the Iraqi regime really a fascist regime?

Not quite. I was referring to something like opposing the tyranny of facism.

And on top of the Iraqi soil. Each of the bunker buster bombs contained up to seven tons of spent uranium. In a few million years the Iraqis should stop feeling the effects.

Yes, well, unfortunately, the only way for humans to get to the truth is to have different points of view and to talk about them.

Exactly. So calming down because we have different ones won't help anyone will it?

You mean fascism, but I don't see a connection to Iraq. Whatever you may portray the Iraqi regime, it was not a fascist regime.
Fascists regimes were Fascist Italy under Mussolini, Fascist Spain under Franco and nazi-Germany under Hitler. And perhaps one could extend the definition to include also some fascist regimes in Latin America, like the Videla regime of Argentina and the Pinochet regime of Chili.

Unfortunately the force that now expelled the Iraqi regime, also armed the regime in their aim of attacking fundamentalist Iran, and also they were quite comfortable or even helped to install some other fascist regimes (like the regime of Pinochet, which had the CIA backing up their fascist coup).
