Rox, do you really believe that every Iraqi is more happy in their current situation and under Saddam's rule?

Do you think they would not be more happy with womens rights, property rights, a ppl's gov't, freedom of speech, etc. and the opportunities that come with these?

There are many countries that have these and thrive and I don't think any of the individuals in these countries would want to trade places with an Iraqi.

I think there are many Iraqi's you are underestimating.
Wig, your still applying western rules to a culture that is older than the wests rules ...

Rox & KK made the point better than I can ...

you are still seeing the 'injustice' done to iraqui people based on your own interpretation of what is 'unjust'. who are you or I to make that decision for these people?

you can't change a whole nations (religious & other) beliefs by claiming they'll be better off to follow yours.
