Also a useful rejoinder for those who insist (as often happens in

Iraq genocide trial for Dutchman
Frans van Anraat, 63, appeared before a war crimes court in The
Hague, charged in connection with the 1988 chemical attacks on
Halabja.
Prosecutors say he continued to supply industrial chemicals to
Iraq after an export ban in 1984.
Mr Van Anraat denies knowing what the chemicals would be used for.
According to the prosecution, chemicals he supplied were used in
the mustard gas attack on Halabja, in Kurdish northern Iraq,
which killed more than 5,000 people.
