You mean the freedoms they actually have LESS of than they did under
Saddam?

Other than the fact that *everything* in this comment was false, it sure
gives away your priorities... since they had *none* of those things
under Saddam Hussein.

Incorrect. Under Saddam, and before the American-backed embargo, Iraqis
had some of the best infrastructure in the ME, including, but not limited
to, universal health care, universal education, and stability. There were
definitely problems, due to Saddam's heavy hand, but women were able to walk
the streets without fear of rape, and there was clean water.


Yes, but what about the trains?
