Greek Mythology, when you cut the head off a Hydra, then more grow back.

Blair doesn't fool me with his whisper voice and near to tears speech. He is a liar and should be brought to account for his actions. I really don't know how he sleeps at night. He doesn't even come across as sincere when he is talking, it's all an act and he has had a long time to practice it.

Correct in so many ways, yeah Saddam wasn't the best ruler, but I'll be 90% of Iraq with hindsight would rather he be in power and the status quo was left than the god awful mess that we left.

Where is the stats for that quote, I do not believe it and most educated Americans and Iraq/Aghan war vets certainly know that's not true.

True, True, false they died for a lie, for lots of families is the tragedy.

Yep I'm sure lots of Iraq's look fondly back on Saddam's reign now, thinking yeah he was a nutter, just not a complete religious nutter. We had food, water, didn't have to worry about VBIED's etc. Okay we may end up getting tortured, but that's like a 0.0001% chance.

I do, as his only god is the greenbacks, money money, money. How to piss him off, make him poor.

Slight understatement or what? He murdered hundreds of thousands of his own population, started unprovoked wars, used nerve gas indiscriminately on civilians, etc. Under his rule of terror people lived in constant fear of detention, torture and execution.

Quote:

To Stalin's methods of arbitrary arrests and forced confessions, Saddam has added an element of sadism: the torture of children to extract information from their parents.

In northern Iraq -- the only place in the country where people can speak relatively freely -- Mr. Sweeney interviewed several people who had direct experience of child torture. He also met one of the victims -- a four-year-old girl, the daughter of a man who had worked for Saddam's psychopathic son Uday. When the man fell under suspicion, he fled to the Kurdish safe haven in the north. The police came for his wife and tortured her to reveal his whereabouts; when she didn't break, they took his daughter and crushed her feet. She was 2 then. Today, she wears metal braces on her legs, and can only hobble.

So, yes, not exactly the best ruler.
