What is the connection between the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict and Iraq?
Often Arabs try to link these conflicts to show that Western Imperialist powers are the reason that they cannot succeed. Of course, this fails to take into account that Israel is not an imperialist power. (It has no foreign colonies.) This also fails to take into account the very different motivations behind the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict and the Iraq War.
In 1990 Saddam Hussein had the capability to control how much of the world's oil?
Roughly 10% of the world's known oil reserves. Saddam controlled Iraq, an oil rich nation. Iran holds another large portion.
If we truly wanted energy independence we would use the largest reserves known to man. The Green Valley reserve which covers Wyoming, Colorado and New Mexico holds far more oil then the entire middle east. We know that 4 trillion barrels alone are in this reserve. We have another reserve in the United States that covers North Dakota which, while not as large has more oil then all the middle east also.
The issue is twofold though. One the left extreme wants us to leave the land natural and the right would rather use the cheaper oil in the Middle East. If we really wanted energy independence, this oil would be used as we speak.

Did the Shi'ites fight on the side of Iran in the Iran-Iraq war?
It depends. The Iran-Iraq War was a war of countries not a war of religions. Numerous Shiite Iraqis were part of the Iraqi Army and did their duty for the Iraqi Government. However, the vast majority of Shiites involved in the war fought on the Iranian side since Iran committed more soldiers to the war and Iran has a higher percentage of Shiites in general and in the armed forces.

How did the US find out that Saddam Hussein was buying a lot of uranium?
Iraq imported only non important quantities of uranium; also the technology was at the beginning. A specific US fraud.
Type your answer here... No. The 2003 invasion of Iraq was done without international (UN) approval), using fabricated reasons for justification (there were no WMD) and was used for American corporate profit. These facts render "Operation Iraqi Freedom" an aggressive conquest. It came at a terrible civilian cost and turned the world's opinion against America. The ongoing failure to bring peace and democracy (as was promised) undermines the USA's credibility around the world, and alienates us from our former allies. While the war profited companies and individuals close to the Bush administration, it has brought death to inocent people, and weakness to a once glorious America. The war is unprovoked, unjust and unwinnable.

Were the perpetrators of the genocide against the Iraqi Kurds brought to justice?
Partially. The first major trial against Saddam Hussein was only focused on one particularly large attack perpetrated against Shiite Muslims in the southeast of the country (the Dujail Massacre).
As for the Al-Anfal Campaign (which is the "polite" term for the Genocide of Iraqi Kurds), in December 2006 Saddam was put on trial for the genocide during Operation Anfal. The trial for the Anfal campaign was still underway on December 30, 2006, when Saddam Hussein was executed for his role in the unrelated Dujail Massacre.
The Anfal trial recessed on December 21, 2006, and when it resumed on January 8, 2007, the remaining charges against Saddam Hussein were dropped since he was now dead. Six co-defendants continued to stand trial for their roles in the Anfal campaign. On 23 June 2007 Ali Hassan al-Majid, and two co-defendants Sultan Hashem Ahmed and Hussein Rashid Mohammed were convicted of genocide and related charges and sentenced to death by hanging. Another two co-defendants (Farhan Jubouri and Saber Abdel Aziz al-Douri) were sentenced to life imprisonment, and one (Taher Tawfiq al-Ani) was acquitted on prosecution's demand.
Al-Majid was eventually hanged on 25 January 2010.
