Iraq is more unstable now than it was under Saddam. I know of engineers from elsewhere in Asia who worked there in the 80's and 90's. They won't go anywhere near Iraq if you paid them ten times what they were paid before. This is not to say that Saddam was good or anything remotely close, but only that Dumbyass is worse.

LOL, another idiot who thinks Iraq was "stable" because of a mass murdering despot who rapes and tortures his own citizens... As if those are not happening now?! If anything, murders and rapes and torture have multiplied manifold because of Dumbyass. At least during Saddam's time, an ordinary citizen could walk in Baghdad or travel in a bus between towns without fear of being blown-up by an IED or being killed by a death squad of a different sect.

Even I don't think the American left is as stupid as you are. Was it the American left who got us into the current mess in Iraqa and then pretended for 2 1/2 years that things were getting better? Just last Fall, the WSJ published that ridiculous list of all the things that were better in Iraq: purple ink is more plentiful; more Iraqis own uzis than any other country in the world; the manufacture of machetes has become a growth industry; Iraqis are more mobile than ever before, changing neighborhoods faster than Amerians change the oil on their cars; Iraq leads the world in the number of decapitations per GDP; the death rate is going up but so is the birth rate; security guards in the home, once a luxury, have gone mainstream.......I think you get the picture.
