In the 80's and 90's Iraq had 5 star hotels, many excellent resaurants, casinos, disco's. You could walk the streets at night without a problem. No one in normal life discriminated between christians(roman catholic or orthadox), sunnis, shiat, sabien or the Armenian comunity etc.
Even under sanctions the government gave all citizens generous rations free of charge, Rice, flour meat etc, they are now starving.
Healthcare was free to all.
Now people are being killed wholesale and the life is hell.
The Iraqi's as it has been proven do need strong governance, and they had it.
