Saddam would not have ruled for 30 years if the Iraqis were willing to take up arms against him

You really don't know anything about Iraq do you? I believe that good old Saddam (Mr. Evil-doer himself) was our guy and we supported him and kept him in power until he invaded Kuwait. Then we encouraged rebellion against Saddam and made a bunch of empty promises to opposition groups only to double cross them and get a bunch of them killed. I just they didn't get the joke. "Hey guys, we were only kidding about that rebellion thing. We really don't want you to take over your own country until we can get in there and liberate you -- and your oil of course."
