"Will it ever get stable. Most would argue it was stable during Saddam Regime. What do you think?" We would need a prophet or a real good fortune teller to know for certain whether or not Iraq will ever get stablized. It is less likely that they will deteriorate into a genocidal blood bath, while we are supporting the current government. It is the hope of many that our occupational support will no longer be needed at some point in the future. We would all like to see Iraq define itself as an autonomous nation securing it's own future, ASAP. The Saddam Regime was stable before the sanctions, with periodic uprisings that he was easily able to put down with the forces at his command. Once the sanctions were imposed, there was a consequential massive genocide of non-regimists. Over 500,000 children under the age of five died as a direct result of the malnutrition and failure to get medical help for treatable illnesses. Of course any at risk adults were also dying off. When asked about it, the US Secretary of State, Madeline Albright, declared, "We think it's worth it." That singled to me that our government was deliberately targeting the innocent children in an effort to encourage the enemies of Saddam from within Iraq, as a strategy to incite an overthrow. That was wrong and that is when I began protesting it.
