Surprisingly enough, quite a few Iraquis would say it is better now. Not all of them have forgotten Saddam, how his goons would snatch people in the middle of the night, how his sons would cruise the streets and rape women, how all the oil money went missing, how all their sons were conscripted and sent to fight Iran.

It's awful now, make no mistake, but let's not rewrite history.

And by the way, I lived in Kuwait during the invasion and we used to go to Baghdad every other weekend so I'm not spouting crap I know nothing about ..... Like a few keyboard warriors do on here
