It would be hard to believe that they did not know about BNLs role in building the Iraqi war machine. The BNL affair also raises questions. about our own and other Western governments policies toward Iraq. For the most part the West ignored massive human rights abuses in Iraq. Iraq used poison gas against Iran. and even its own citizens. the Kurds. Brutal Iraqi relocation policies made refugees out of over 100.000 Kurds. Iraq was a know heaven of terrorist groups. Through all of this. the United States and other Western governments provided billions in export credit assistance to Iraq which had a history of being delinquent or not paying on its loans.
