Meni, that's old news. It's still disturbing, but it's been reported for some time.
So in this thread it's about the Iraqi people, Mikey?
Do you really think that the average Iraqi you seem so glad to liberate from the oppressive (and oil-rich) Saddam regime feels so relieved at not being worried about being swept up by Saddam's secret police that they are willing to accept the anarchy that comes along with the "occupation-lite" that an essentially unilateral operation requires?
Is it better for the Iraqi people to no longer fear the government but be afraid to leave their homes after dark?
I don't think the world is one damned bit safer now that Saddam has gone. From the looks of things, Iraq is not one damned bit safer now that Saddam has gone.
