Sorry, but Iraq is much worse off under US occupation than under Saddam [View All]

[Sara Beverley]

Just finished watching the NBC coverage of the aftermath of the assault on Fallujah and the coverage of the destruction and attacks in other major cities of Iraq. It was just devastating to see how we destroyed these cities and the homes and property of innocent Iraqi citizens. Saddam's regime was nothing like this and the Iraqi people know it. Sure Saddam was a brutal dictator but like most dictators, if you don't cross them they leave you alone. And Saddam didn't routinely tear up the country of Iraq, after all, he was an Iraqi and that was his homeland. Only a brutal occupier could and would resort to the waste and destruction of another's homeland. It looks much like Gaza and other Palestinian territories which have been similarly destroyed by the Israelis. Our military looks much like an occupying Nazi regime, I'm sorry, but I have to believe my lying eyes. If this is the face of democracy, then the world is better off without it!
