About one. Ever since the US abandoned their "ally" Saddam. Saddam was one of the most benevolent dictators the middle east has seen. I know you'll think it's crazy, but up until the time of the gulf war he built schools hospitals and roads and bridges. Yes he was a despot. But the decay of Iraq comes after the 91 war with the sanctions and Saddam hoarding the money for himself. He was not good for the country, but get the facts straight about what was accomplished under Saddam. He was by far the best ruler the people had ever seen, and this is why there is so much loyal resistance. It's sad that such a despot could be so revered. Orca
