What are you the peanut gallery?
While I understand your point, Professor... I can't fathom that we're talking about the same people here. I mentioned the Iraqis and Saddam. The guy who:
Put bodies in mass graves. Some still alive.
The Anfal Campaign. 100,000 Kurds killed by chemical weapons.
During the '91 uprising killed 50,000 fed up civilians.
Drained the marshlands and deprived people of a way to live.
His motorcade was shot at... he bulldozed the whole town of Dujail, killed 150 men and 1,500 women and children were taken to prison.
Dropped bombs of mustard gas and nerve agents on Halabja. 5,000 men, women, and children dead. 10,000 more disfigured, sick, cancer.
Now:
Businesses are re-opening.
City councils are meeting.
Iraqi government has passed a budget.
Is making laws.
The national government is sharing oil revenues w/towns.
Iraqi police and military are taking on more or the security responsibilities.
US is talking with Jordan, UAE, Qatar, Kuwait, and Egypt to encourage them to reopen their embassies in Baghdad.
I'm sorry guys, I just don't agree.
