Reply #22: Free of the tyranny of Saddam?

[manic expression]

Perhaps you could explain to me how US soldiers dragging people out of their homes at night, or incarcerating people for no reason and torturing them is NOT tyranny.

What have we given the Iraqi people? Chaos, as they cannot walk their own streets without fear; death, we have killed 80,000 Iraqi soldiers and 100,000 Iraqi civilians; unemployment, as 60% of Iraqis are unemployed; shortages of food, water, electricity; we have caused the destruction and looting of untold numbers of schools, museums, houses and entire cities; fundamentalism, as women are forced to stay at home or wear the hijab when they do rarely leave, under pain of death or raping (ever heard of the "misery gangs"? I didn't think so). We have NOT freed Iraq, we have thrown them into the most disgusting and horrible situation imaginable.

They must and will free themselves of the tyranny of the US occupation.
