Animal? Yeah he was. But you have to admit Iraq was in a much better condition when he was in charge people where not being murdered on the streets like this. The US occupation has only sparked lawlessness and ethnic rivalries both didn't really exist under Saddam. Now the US has sparked a civil war even if they do pull out, Iraq will still be a mess. They make him out to be an animal, he was the same dictator the US used to fight proxy wars against Iran. :down:
America are backing Mubarak in Egypt and Musharaf in Pakistan and all over the world there are dictators with no ''democratic elections'' who usually take out their rivals. Where the the world police??? People need to understand it wasn't about Saddam, because if it was than US would be fighting wars all over the world. The most brutal dictators where the Us backed.
Heres a few dictators the CIA and other US agencies has backed in the passed. Notice all the mass murderers? and how most of them where never punished for their crimes.
