This is all bullshit.
You spout this spiel against NATO. You're a champagne socialist version of a NATO aggressor. You would be the first to moan if you lived under these oppressive regimes that NATO sought to change. You live a democracy. A country where we can speak what we like. Choose to believe in what we like. Wear what we like, sleep with whom we like and within constraints do what we like. You are putting US UK in the warcrime barriers with people like Saddam. You are so far out. You don't even know it. America, The UK are democracies. You know this. It's junior me even stating it out to you.
The Iraq war of 2003 was a depressing scenario. The Bush administration spoke in 2001 of an axis of evil between NK, Iran and Iraq. I didn't believe it at first. I never believe he had weapons of mass destruction. America claimed he did. None was found l. but I knew full well he had be disposed.
In an ideal world. I'd have preferred that a squad was sent in pre 2003 undercover and arrested Saddam and brought him before the Hague. I think that would have been the best option. And it would have saved a lot of bloodshed. Preferably he should have been disposed of in 1991. Not subjected to US sanctions. Because however crippling. The people of Iraq ultimately suffered and he still clung into power in the 12 year interim.
Saddam was a tyrant. A man who killed his own people. An appalling human rights abuse record. A man who invaded a neighbour to pifler monetary assets. He was a pillager. Iraq had long since wanted democracy. But was unsure how to go about it. It new no other from Faisal 2, Abdul quasim, then the Baathists.
It was a police state. Forced disappearances, murders, torture, hangings. Any opinion other than what Saddam wanted was punishable by death. Do you know Iraqi regular citizens could not even hold a passport?
