Ah! The irony.
Saddam Hussein fills trenches with hundreds of thousands of bodies....his way of pacification.
The result? Two actually.
In Iraq, during Hussein's rule, an Iraqi could leave his doors unlocked. Crime was a...excuse me, a nuisance.
The other was that said pacification was called genocide and acts against humanity.
That said....I hope they start digging those trenches soon.
"In Iraq, during Hussein's rule, an Iraqi could leave his doors unlocked. Crime was a...excuse me, a nuisance."
HORSEFEATHERS.
Do you really believe that? I think you had better go back and check the source of that informaion. After all, what is your basis for knowings such a fact?
Right.
It is probably something said by Bagdad bob.
A people does not change overnight. I am sure there was lots of crime going on in Saddam's Iraq. We just didn't hear about it, nor did it get reported.
By saying this you are implying that the nation went from extremely civilized to savage overnight - and just because we are there. Such a statement does not pass the smell test.
In addition, perhaps the Iraqi's under Saddam were required to leave their doors unlocked. After all, many of the thieves and hoodlums we are currently fighting were in power. Perhaps it was a requirement that you leave your doors unlocked so that they found it easy to steal whatever they wanted.
There was no genocide in Saddam's Iraq? Just Saddam putting criminals in trenches? Sure...
BTW, how could the Iraqi's leave their doors open during the Saddam days, when there was "hundreds of thousands" of criminals who had to be killed and put in trenches?
