As ridiculous as it sounds, the reality is that SADDAM did a better job on keeping the peace than you guys are doing.

So I guess you prefer order over freedom then??

But I imagine that's only if YOU ARE THE ONE giving the
orders, right??

Must be convenient living in a country where you don't have to worry about that..

History is rife with sheep, like yourself, more than content to surrender their freedoms at the first threat or physical intimidation..

Note that the US sponsored government in Iraq does not want to go to war with Iran and Syria. How's dem apples?

That's their perogative, given that they represent the majority of people in Iraq who elected them.

And please note.. THAT VERY SAME GOVERNMENT has also asked the US and coalition forces to remain in Iraq until they are able to maintain their own security.

So how is that occupation?

SADDAM was a third world dictator, murderer and all around US sponsored thug.

US and Europe. Indeed the mess the whole region is in is largely due to European colonialism and anti-Semitism prior and up to WW-II. We in the US have hardly helped matters with our thirst for oil, especially in recent years, but there's no shortage of blame to go around, including Muslims themselves who are hardly blameless either.
