What on earth are you talking about? All I said was that Lizzie is right that women's life in Saddam's Iraq was much better than that in Saudi Arabia, a US ally.

Let's see if I understand you two - because Saddam didn't treat women significantly worse than he treated anyone else and even let one build bio-weapons for him, and because other countries treat women poorly, he's really not such a bad guy and Iraqis would be better off with him than trying to form a democratic government, which is an inherently uncertain activity. That about cover it?

Obviously, no. You have not understood. And that does not "cover it".
