who thinks Iraq was more stable under Saddam?

Question

America should have stayed the hell out! If Iraq was Oil free there would be no American troops there

ok i will make this clearer There are many third world states run by Murdering Dictators and America does nothing untill Oil is discovered there

Answer 1

My husband was there for a year with the US Army and he said that as sad as it sounds, the Iraqi people need a dictator like Saddam. He said that the only way to control all the different people was through fear.

Answer 2

If the Americam would'nt have come there somebody else would have. Now Bush is made a scape goat in this mess . Isnt there a democracy in USA or is there a dictatorship, everybody talks as if Bush is the only one to be blamed. This blame game of convinience should stop. Why is anybody blaming the big business houses Arms manufacturers WMD producers. The Americans have no choice. its either of the two major political parties and both are financed by powerful groups and after elections they have to repay by safe guarding their interests. It is not only oil, but the americans came to hide and destroy the WMD and their friend Saddam. If it was for global terrorism then under UN there should have been many countries attacking Iraq. Here you find only US and Briton, Why? because they supplied WMD. Atleast Bush is trying to clean up all the mess created by earlier administrations, look at Pakistan, it is like that since Independence, Bush is doing all the clean up. He is the right president he has the guts to do what he feels and does what he says. I wonder why no body appreciates that

Answer 3

Now thats a broad question. The answer is obviously yes it was more stable under Saddam but that was only because if you didnt follow the rules of his land the you and possibly your family would be killed. Now its a time of war over there so for the most part everything is a little chaotic and in shambles. Only time will tell if the country is going to be more stable under different rule than Saddams but we will have to wait until we, the U.S., leave to see.

Answer 4

Like it or not these regions have relied on leaders with the necessary "qualities" Saddam and his regime had for that very reason.This region has had leaders like Saddam for centuries sinc ethe time of Hammurabai.

At least he kept Iraq on an even keel even if his methods are obscene to the West.

Before the war an average Iraqi family had access to employment , regular food and medicine( despite the laughable sanctions), petrol and education. They also had basic services and a relativly sound infrastructure.

The variuos factions got on and there was little trouble.

Now since America has been there most of these things are gone and an Arab civil war is about to be unleashed ...with another 20,000 US troops in the middle.

Answer 5

Iraq was more stable under him. He was the only one that was keeping the country from breaking out into civil war. And one of the reasons George Bush Sr. did not take him out in Desert Storm. The Iraqis should have overthrown him if they wanted him gone, not us. We just created a mess there by invading.

Answer 6

No doubt Iraq was more stable under Saddam.

Answer 7

I think Iraq was definately more stable with Saddam in, but it also depends on what you mean by stable. Iraq is in complete choas and with this ridiculous plan to put 20,000 more troops its going to get alot more unstable. Although Saddam did kill quite a bit of people, and its great that hes out of power. But you cant just look at that, Saddam didnt bomb innocent babies, and people.

Answer 8

How many third world dictators have invaded a smaller neighbor, gassed its own people and thumbed its nose at the UN. Forget about the last one, everyone does that.

Answer 9

It WAS more stable, but only because the citizens of Iraq were afraid of their own government. With time, Iraq will be as stable as it once once, except without fear.


And I would like to comment on, "But you cant just look at that, Saddam didnt bomb innocent babies, and people."

Ever heard of what he did to over 150.00 Kurds? What about the people he tortured, executed, and starved to death because they said something he didn't like? Know what you're talking about dude before you make these ridiculous and completely false statements.

Answer 10

yawn.... but I'll bite anyway, jeez. Okay, Saddam raped, killed, and brutalized his own people for 3 decades. He used WMD on his own people. I'd hardly call Iraq stable under Saddam. I guess if you're a spineless terrorist like yourself, you'd call it great, and stable... As for the oil. I know you totally got some proof of that? Of course you don't. ((LMAO)). You people make me laugh every time I get on here! Thanks for the chuckle before bedtime :)
