People Act Like Iraq Was A Good Place Before The War
People seem to forget that Iraq under Saddam, all propaganda aside, was one of the worst places to live in the entire world.
He, and the small vicious minority that made up the Baathist, killed over 250,000 of his own country men (men, women and children, technically speaking). Search any human rights database on the web and look for Iraq prior to the invasion. It is not a hard number to find. The U.S. military has documented over 300,000 bodies found in mass graves around the country. No matter who does the counting it makes Saddam and his government, illegitimate.
I am constantly amazed to see people, supposedly education and thoughtful, who act like things are worse in Iraq since we got there. The only people it is worse for is the Baathist. The real problem is that people are afraid that as long as Saddam is alive, the Baathist might return. In the scenario it best to keep your mouth shut about anything good happening.
Uggh!
