The people in Iraq have less freedom now than they did under Saddam.
[Edited on 11-26-2003 by Satyr]
What was the first thing the people of Iraq did when they realized Saddam was gone? They started getting satellite dishes so they could get information. They started hundreds of newspapers to spread information. They started expressing freedom of speach. They started doing things that would have gotten them killed before. How is that not more free than before? They were always suspects and threatened with death(and many actually killed) under Saddam.
Maybe he wasn't a direct threat to the US, but he was a threat to the whole middle east. He proved that when he invaded his neighbor.
Have you seen the way he kept things running? The power plants(the ones still running) were about to fall apart, the telecommunications were horrible, all while his palaces were kept up better than the hospitals.

No, I am happy with Duck Cheney. He has such an honest smile. I can't wait until he's president.

Didn't Dubya try (or succeed) in getting to make it so that future presidents can't release records EVER if a past president wants them secret. What will future U.S. History classes look like anyway? __________________???
