Do you think Saddam was more efficient than the americans in Iraq??

Question

During his time , insurgents were not able to come to Iraq from Syria & Iran (?) to do their bombings. If it is Iraqis killing each other , why can't the americans control the law and order there?? In Saddam's time they were not killing each other like this. Saddam was able to have some kind of control over Iraq before. Now it is chaos. If the americans can't do a better job , why don't they just quit?? Are they staying there to provide target practice for the Iraqis??

to the general: hey , do you use that flag for wiping your bottom??

to general Josh: you are the second general responding and my other detail is not meant for you. But , if the americans realise the importance of life , why , it was not evident after hurricane katrina. We were able to watch , thanks to the BBC and the freedom of the press , the goings on on TV. And apparently americans were not happy at the way the brits went to press on this particular matter. Hmmm. Or do you give more importance to the lives of iraqis than that of your own under privileged citizens??

again to the general: I know you keep coming back for more. Just to point out how wrong you could be , I am from Kerala , a southern state of India.
I am not radical islam , I am a Christian .
I don't have any kids to teach radical islam either.

Answer 1

1.there has been alot of exaggeration about the rude rule of saddams regime in iraq.when there are lots of traitors whose loyalty is to your country's enemy,what do you do.do you kiss them.
2.that regime had a perfect grip on the whole country,but that grip was badly weakened by us by imposing the UN sanctions and the no fly zones,and the immunity that was given to the Kurds.
3.it is natural that the patriotic native leaders can cont role their country better than any power on earth.but what happened was that the us brought Iraqi traitors from the dirtiest septic tanks of the world,gave them power through false election,the result now is that non in the present Iraqi govt had,or has any loyalty to Iraq.their endeavor is to steal as much as they can.just check the names of most of those who assumed the highest posts in Iraq since the invasion ,and see where are they now.why have they disappeared.the us administration was badly cheated by their claims.it has realized that,but it is too late now.the biggest loosers were the Iraqi and the us people,the winners are Iran and those who claimed to be the Iraqi opposition who stole the assets and disappeared.
4.A country like iraq can never be swithche on to the american type of democracy.it has diffrent culture,traditiones,and ethics.the people have to be educated towards the kind of democracy that fits the people at first.fanatics,holigans,and illetrates think that democracy means no deciplain,no law,no ethics.and this is what happened in iraq.it is natural that the native patriotics are the best who can controle their country.
5.do you think that saddam was the best to rule iraq.the answer is naturally not.he was unfit to lead 10 men.he was a fugative soldeir when he resumed power as vice president in iraq in 1968.....but who brought such a garbage to power in a country very well known of its intellectuals and leaders.if you can reach to the answer of this question,you will understand the game.

Answer 2

Saddam was very much more efficient controlling Iraq. If someone or a section of the country disagreed with his policies, he'd have them wiped out. Case in point is during the Iran/Iraq War in the '80's, Saddam had a ministers' meeting in which he asked an interior minister whether or not he should withdraw from Iran. The minister replied to Saddam that he would withdraw and begin peace talks with Iran. Saddam promptly pulled out his pistol and shot the minister in the head. Then Saddam ordered his body cubed & sliced up, packed in a box & delivered to his wife and children. He also used chemical agents to wipe out Kurd & Shia villages. As for current affairs, the US has done their job. Saddam is out, Iraq has a government. Sectarian violence is actually a civil war, & no matter if troops are surged or not, the violence will continue. The violence will continue when US troops are withdrawn, & look for Saudi Arabia & Iran to take up the void in Iraq to protect Sunnis and Shias. Saddam hated Iran, particularly Ahmadinejad, & he was a known entity as an evil, erratic leader who would have slaughtered more of his own people to stay in power.

Answer 3

I think you are right. The problem is that the United States saw an end to a dictator, but, didn't think about what to do afterwards.

It was stupid for the United States to think it can go into a country that has had problems since Britain took over and restructured the boundaries (purposefully putting Shiites and sunis together in order to have total control of the Mediterranean). Furthermore, how can you erect a democracy overnight? In fact, Iraq is not the United States. Spain hadn't become a democracy until the 1970's! In fact, a lot of Europe wasn't a democracy until that time. Why the US thought they could make democracy work faster is beyond me.

On the other hand, I can't remember who said it, but, a US president said that democracies aren't the best forms of government, but, none other had been any better.

Answer 4

In my Opinion, I think that bombings and killings are already worst even before the Americans saved Iraq from Saddam, Just now we know this killings and bombings had happened because they are now exercising the freedom of the press. Chaos has already been there Thanks to the American people who supports the importance of life by giving the help even it cost them their own lives. America trully is the land of the Brave and Free.

Answer 5

One thing for sure, Saddam knew more about Iraq’s enemies than the United States? There are obvious outside influence keeping the violence going in Iraq. Do you really think Iraq's borders are controlled by the US troops? Iraq is totally open to the negative influence afflicted by insurgents from Syria and Iran. Our troops are to concern with just staying alive than with protecting Iraq from its true enemies. Saddam tried to warn his country of the danger of Iran after he was ousted from power. It is popular to say Saddam was a monster but was he really? Have the everyday person really thought about what it takes to run a country in the terrorist laden Middle East? What country does not have people from certain groups complaining about the current administration? Hell, there were talks of impeaching Bush for his misuse of power reguarding the war. Is Bush any different from Saddam for sending innocent young men to their deaths for a war sold the public based on lies? Maybe Bush should be tried for crimes against humanity for people who died in this most unfortunate war?

I personally think the entire court proceeding where unfair and a farce all the way down to handing over Saddam to a government of his enemies. I often think who had what to loose from not letting Saddam speak his truth? Long after the US has pulled out of Iraq they will be picking up the pieces from loosing a more experience government even though Saddam misused his power. Do you think it is really any different here in the US concerning misuse of power? The Iraqi people will come to realize Saddam was not such a terrible leader in the end compared to the terrors they are about to experience while they try to rebuild their country and a working government.

Answer 6

Yes, he was more efficient than the Americans in Iraq. The Nazi's were famous for their efficiency as well (and there's an old saying about how at least Mussolini made the trains run on time). Why? The less you're burdened by worries about being fair, the more brutally efficient you can be.

There are better things than being efficient.

Answer 7

Yes he was more effective. He was a mean, lean, killing machine. The numbers that he killed under his regime so outweigh the numbers now that there is no comparison. And had he been left to continue unchecked the numbers of deaths would be off the charts. Stopping a homicidal maniac is serious business. Ever checked the death toll resulting from the combined effort to stop Hitler?

Answer 8

Yeah I agree whos worse Americans killing 600,000 Iraqis, compared to Saddam killing 100,00 at the most. American troops are disasterous. I am going with Hillary to end the war.

Answer 9

Logically if u see saddam could control the iraqis and made them rich.Americans created hatred among people and created civil war for their gain and made the iraqis paupers

Answer 10

Saddam was the most successful person ever to control Iraq; despite the fact that he was a great tyrant. May Allah have mercy upon us all, Ameen!
