The mass graves don't lie. Nor do the numbers of surviving kin. Completely different situation. Where I think the media is off wrt to Saddams accomplishments are the non-campaign or war related deaths. He had a number of significant campaigns against Kurds & Shittes. Those could be viewed as wars or civil wars. Figures of 30K/year are tossed around for the rest of the time. Those are the figures I doubt. There's no doubt that the streets were safer under Saddam. That was my point. So we agree here. The US needs to get things back to that point, without being a tyrant about it. Thats the fix we are in.
