Maybe Iraq needed Sadam Hussein for stablility?

Question

Didn't the U.S. help put him in power for just that reason?

Next up: The Kurds fight for independence from Iraq.

Answer 1

Is some ways this is correct, similar that Tito kept yugoslavia together with an iron fist

might be true but doesnt justify what he did to his own people or his neighbors

Answer 2

To ALL the dumbasses who believe Iraq would have been better off if Sadam had remained in power...You exhibit the mentality, behavior, and intellect of someone who has never spent a day in school, picked up a news paper, watched a news program, or have ever seen an oppressed individual. Irregardless of how he or any person in power gets there, when you take the freedom of choice away from your people, fathers away from their jobs and family (to act on YOUR cause), steel from them, murder them because they don't like you, agree with you, support you, rape your wife and children because you're not there, hoard institutional currency; then it's time for an old fashioned block knock'in.

Let's bring this a little closer to home for those with skulls full of mush or for those who live in Rio Linda. Wouldn't it be better for every citizen in the US if the President called home every military personnel across the globe so that they could enforce the views of our current President, the conservative party and me. Arm every illegal immigrant to enforce this policy in exchange for a few dollars and a hot meal. That unless you all fall into line and support us/this administration (after all they where voted into office), you will be put to death, or jailed for life, and your family murdered? It kinda takes on a different meaning then doesn't it? I mean if you really do care about the truth of the truth. I mean, unless you really are some sort of imbecile and can't see the analogy there, this war is justified for that reason alone if nothing else.

People/politcians who side with Sadam, who feel this war was unjust are just feathers from the same bird as Sadam and will have to be delt with too at some point in time.

Answer 4

Maybe Germany needed Hitler.

Maybe you are drinking Kool Aid from those who claim we should have never gone to Iraq.

You want a valid opinion on this one? Ask an Iraqi! My best friend is from Iran. He has many Iraqi friends. I attend the Middle Eastern New Year celebration here every year. IRAQIs ARE GLAD SADDAM IS DEAD! THEY WERE NOT BETTER OFF WITH SADDAM! Americans cannot wrap their minds around the kind of evil that is in Saddam and Ahmedine-jihad. The media portrays them as saints compared to who they truly are. You really need to wake up and understand that TRUE EVIL HAS FACES! Saddam was one, Ahmedine-jihad is another Osama WAS another. Basically Islam in its pure form is a huge source of evil.

Answer 5

You are selling the Iraqi people short. They will work out their problems through compromise. Give them a break! They have little experience with self determination. It took America quite a while to work things our in our founding. Then there was the Civil War before things really got decided.

Answer 6

It was a big joke that he was some kind of threat anyway. He hadn't been able to control the Kurdish area of Iraq since the first Gulf war. If he couldn't even control the whole of his own country, how was he a threat to the US. And I don't wanna hear any of the "it was a humanitarian mission", dictators in other countries have been killing people since forever and we don't get involved with them.

Answer 7

I don't agree with other answers that say Iraqies were better off under Saddam. But yes it was more stable. And I do think that Muslims are savages and they do need some one with an Iron fist to MAKE them get along!!

Answer 8

The US and Iraq would both be better off if Saddam was still in power.

Answer 9

We armed him in the 80's, invaded him in the 90's, maybe next year we'll bring him back from the dead, anyway, so I guess 80's genocide is different.

Answer 10

Yeah and Germany Hitler!Italy Stallion,Etc
