If brutal dictatorships were as wonderful and safe as you suggests, they would have migrated to the safe and secure havens of Singapore, or China, or N. Korea, or Cuba, wouldn't they? > Besides, when you say you would have preferred to live under Saddam, are you being oblivious to the sectarian strife that was life under Saddam for the Shia and the Kurds, which comprised 80% of Iraq's population, and clueless about the rape rooms, torture chambers, mass graves, chemical attacks and no-fly zones? > Gabe opines: > Security is more important than loosing your life because of sectarian strife brought upon the invasion of a Country. > Mario responds: > Is that why we never see you condemning those engaged in the sectarian strife, and only criticizing those who are trying to stop the strife? Are you claiming that being liberated is making a tiny segment of the Shia and Sunni kill each other? > Has it occurred to you that they could have chosen to live in freedom and democracy like 99% of the other Iraqis want to do and have voted three times to confirm this, and are continuing to join the Iraqi security forces in order to rescue their country from the insurgents, who are being aided and abetted by Al Qaeda? > If security is your primary concern, you had better get the heck out of Britain since the terrorists have reduced security there as well. Or are you also clueless about what actually happened in London on 7/7 and what almost happened there more recently? >
