    The one thing this video didn't address is: In what way are Iraqis better off today than they were in 2002?

      No more "rape rooms".
      No woman in fear of being educated.
      No more murder of opposition.
      No more torture of dissenters.
      No more hoarding of revenue by a megalomaniac.

      It really stretches down your arm if you want to know....

          Yes, there is no need for rape rooms, at least for raping women, because that kind of thing can be done behind the corner nowadays with Iraqi government doing nothing about it, which is why women need male escorts to get around.

          http://dahrjamailiraq.com/hard_news/archives/newsc...

          Now if you are talking about something more exotic like rape rooms for men, something that even Saddam didn't have, then for that you gotta go to Abu Ghraib or similar "detention" facilities.

          Women had more rights when Saddam was in power

          http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/artic...

          If there is no murder of opposition why do Iraqi politicians live and gather in the Green Zone?

          No torture of dissenters??? Really? I don't remember seeing any marches against Muqtada al-Sadr in Sadr City. Must be because of all that freedom that Iraqis have.

          What concerns hoarding of revenues then can you remind all of us how much surplus billions that Maliki government is looking at for the end of the year? Was it $79 billion? How much of that are they spending? Or are you saying that if the hoarding is not done by a megalomaniac then it's perfectly fine?

            I had no idea you were such a strong supporter of Saddam!

            I stand corrected. Saddam was a just and wonderful ruler with a love for humanity who was doing a good job for his people. Surely the Iraqis are much worse off now than when they had the Obamessiah's champion, Saddam Hussein in power.

            Please accept my apology.

            Putz.

              Ah the ad hominem, the last refuge of a scoundrel.

                Given the many difficulties that our powerful military have encountered while occupying (liberating) this country, it seems to me that he really had no choice to rule with an iron fist.

                I am not saying that he was right, but he wasn't any more vicious than we are with the people there. With the exception we have "trials" before we execute them.

                  He killed hundreds of thousand if not millions of his own people and you're saying we're no better?

                  Are you nuts?

              Are you sure?
