[QUOTE]Originally posted by Jason Abbadon: [QB] Well, yeah, but it's not as if "we [i]brought[/i] them there and it was some peaceful hamlet before then. WIthout getting into an "ends justify the means" debate, a [i]lot[/i] of people over there are very happy we invaded. BUt even without taking the ongoing violence into concideration, we'd be hated by a lot of people there- the ones that were in power or had a fairly good lifestyle under Saddam. Having lived through natural disasters, I can testify that the nicest of people turn real ugly real quick without basic services...and the US invasion took that away from millions....and have done a crappy job restoring them too. We've brought down the quality of life for the country and no "big picture" of a free Iraq will block that out. All that being said, no- Bush is no where close in [i]any way[/i] to being "as bad" as Saddam Hussein. War monger or not, he's [i]not[/i] genocidal- he actually thinks he's doing good for the people of Iraq (weither hey like it or not). People rarely hear first hand accounts of what atrocities went on in Iraq under Hussein (or tune them out) but Iraq is a long way from the mass graves and prisons full of children that hallmarked Saddam's rule.
