total 895,549,362 people free( Jun 2006 est.**)

Yes that's almost 1 billion people, over the last 60 years, given freedom or feedom was preserved and are still living free thanks to the so called Evil Imperialist Empire of the United States of America. (give or take 35 million)

I would like to include the 3,874,050 people of Lebanon. However, even though we forced Syria to leave that country they still do not yet have total freedom.

We did not install Sadam. However President Carter did help the Ayotolla come to power in Iran and start this religious war we are in today. President Carter is the only President that freed no people during his term.

Answer 3

No, The US did not install Saddam.

Concerned about growing ties to Communists, the CIA gave assistance to the Ba'ath Party and other regime opponents. Army officers with ties to the Ba'ath Party overthrew Qassim in a coup in 1963. Ba'athist leaders were appointed to the cabinet and Abdul Salam Arif became president.

The Baath party originated with two separate nationalist groups in Syria. These groups had formed in opposition to both French colonial rule and to the older generation of Syrian Arab nationalists, and advocated instead Pan-Arab unity and Arab nationalism. Their ideology blended non-Marxist socialism and nationalism. The early Syrian Baathists opposed the influence of Europe in their country's affairs, and used nationalism and the notion of unifying the Arab world as a platform.

Answer 4

Since dictatorship is not a democracy, they install themselves. People only elect officials, such a the president, vice pres, etc. It is usually later that they become dictators. People of a nation need to recognize this trend before it's too late.

Answer 5

Yes, you are correct. But who put the man in office that put the man in the dictatorship? People. People are as evil as polliticians. Do we go after our own kind? This is a world about Good vs Evil. Look at our kids today. Look at what they are in to? Has our life styles got more hecktic, our kids more into sex, and our T.V.s filled with smut? You can not stop Evil from winning. You can only slow it down. I wish there was an answer, but we live and then we die. Sorry.

Answer 6

It's hard for me to understand how anybody justifies Iraq, for any reason. All of the war justification rules are against it.
