ok now Armo's feelings on Saddam.. It does not matter how or when Saddam got into power.. What matters is the future and well being of Iraq and the Iraqi people. Think of Saddam as a rotten tooth... It had to be pulled and we all knew it was going to hurt like hell.. Or.. We could have let the tooth stay and rot out the whole mouth. And I know some of you will come at me.. "Oh the USA supported Saddam" Blah Blah Blah... I can name hundreds of friends I had in the past that I can not stand now.. People change as well as government administrations. And what do you do with a 90 pound Rottweiler once it bites you? What happened in the past happened.. Saddam NEEDED to be removed. I don’t care what the flaming liberals say. Then we got the media reporting all the failures in Iraq.. Since when has the media ever reported good news?!?!? Its always the bad things that people see and hear and not the good things.. I have MANY friends from Iraq and listen to their life changing stories since the fall of Saddam.. There is hope for Iraq and the Iraq people are seeing it.. However, the radicals and extremists don’t see hope.. Then everyone expects to see change over night! How can you take an entire country that has spent DECADES being abused by their leader, and expect EVERYONE to change their way of life over night? AS we seen a state of anarchy in the days following the fall of Saddam's statue, one must admit that Anarchy would happen in ANY country given that situation.. Yes even in the USA. ALSO! These Uprisings we see in Iraq have been going on since the beginning of Iraq.. They were going on even when Saddam was in Power.. But how did Saddam end it? He would Gas EVERONE and call it a day..
