In us.military.army Chad Irby wrote: There were definitely problems, due to Saddam's heavy hand, but women were able to walk the streets without fear of rape, Aren't you overlooking Uday Husseins well documented love of rape? But otherwise I'm sure it was a lovely place to live. But he never committed his rapes on the street..... So the Sadam appologists give him a pass. Actually, its a matter of numbers. How many rapes did Uday commit? How many are being commited now? Likewise with daily murders, etc. Apologia... I'm defending Sadam/Usay by pointing out that things could be worse than they were? You guys like to tout the mass graves and so on, but the reality is that most of that stuff happened years ago. The biggest single killer in Iraq has been for several years the result of the UN sanctions. True, Saddam could have played better with us and the sanctions wouldn't have been needed, but it will be several years before things improve to the point that the Iraqis are significantly better off materially than they were before the invasion. That is not what the Iraqis themselves believe, according to the recent poll results (from an organization that was none to much in favor of the operation, either). And on any given day, Bush is guaranteed to win, or Kerry is guaranteed to win, according to polls taken in this country. Polls don't mean much. And, in the meantime, we have the potential for even worse things happening in Iraq than anything that Saddam and his kids ever managed to do. Sounds like apologia for Saddam...resulting in a well-deserved *plonk*. Defense of Saddam and family? Ok, sure, whatever. bah Waves hand. |
