It makes me happy that the person, Saddam Hussein and his entourage are no longer in power anywhere, since he is of the same genre as Hitler -though not as powerful. I don’t understand why anyone would say the world would be the same or better off had we left him where he was…in power as a brutal dictator. The idea of his brand of terror against individuals with his unbridled brutality—-going unchecked—sickens me. The spread of it would be tragic.
SHILOH,
Have you heard about the people being found dead in Iraq NOW with holes drilled in their knees? Who do you think is doing that? Do you think Saddam has come back from the dead to perpetuate these crimes?
The U.S. hasn’t done anything by removing Saddam. It’s projected that 34,000 people will be murdered in Iraq this year. Over 100,000 have been killed since the war began. Do you think Iraq is some kind of fairyland where everyone gets along now that the evil Saddam is gone? Wrong. All that Bush has done is replace a brutal dictator with a Shiite puppet government that implicitly sponsors Shiite death squads. Subtle “ethnic cleansing” (I hate that word) is going on every day in Iraq now. Shiite militias and death squads have been incorporating themselves into the Iraqi army and police since at least 2005.
The only difference between Iraq now and Iraq under Saddam is that Bush is sponsoring the brutality that takes place in Iraq now.
