As far as history seems to be showing us, it appears Iraqis were perfectly 
happy under Saddam's thumb. Hussein fucked up and evil though he was, kept 
those people from killing each other due to sectarian violence and kept the 
religious fanatics mostly out of his country and obviously proved to be a 
balancing factor against countries like Iran and Syria. You can bet this 
country won't be bending over to bail out other Third World shitholes in the 
near future, even if there appears to be some strategic or other (oil) 
benefit for whatever the current government may be.

Oh dear. A bankhanded slap against America by a guy who thinks cows are 
destroying the climate. I'm SOooOOOoo offended. If you truly were a UK 
citizen, I'd offer some half-assed witty retort.
