  • Would Iraq be better off if Saddam was still in power?

    Given the mess that is now Iraq, by all accounts, there are far more Iraqi dead than if Saddam was still ruling. He was a vicious, evil dictator, but I'm of the opinion that it would be better off if he was still in power. It's amazing what a mess that moron in the White House can make.

      Better for the Iraqis, or at least more hopeful as regards the future. Worse for the interests of the west.

              The Kurds were somewhat protected with the no fly zone and whatnot. While it certianly wasn't the best situation for them it's not as if they were being killed left and right.

                  Yup, the Kurds are the only winners so far...at least until the Turks take them over to stop the Kurds from raiding across the border.

                  Could the Turks get the Iraqi northern oil fields out of taking the Kurdish north?

                    A partition would be helpful absolutely, there would be those unwilling to move, and those who would face retribution for being suspected sympathizers, there would be many problems, including the possibility of future wars between the new countries, as has happened between India and Pakistan.

                      It's a good question: who are they worse off under, Saddam or Iran?

                        The entire thing would go to the Turks with our blessing...rather than having the Iranians get it all.

                          IMHO, if we can ever get our heinies out of Iraq, the Iranians will be given the heave-ho soon after. Arabs hate Persians, even if they are both ****te.

                            That's one reason why we shouldn't go too far, possibly just to Kuwait. It would be fun to feed the Iraqis weapons to use against Iranians.

                              I agree with perfection, so far it has been a disaster, and the only redeeming thing which could happen would be a partition of the country
