Trigger-happy in Baghdad - US troops butcher unarmed firefighters

Re: Trigger-happy in Baghdad - US troops butcher unarmed firefighters

So life was better under Saddam, and Muslims should be treated like Children who are unable to politically determine their own future? You guys need a dictator to prevent you from slitting each other throats? WTF?

If this is the case, then I want an apology for all that "America supports Dictators" crap that you guys sling, because obviously treating you as a lower form of humanity THEN was really the correct assessment, and we were right in supporting murderous repressive regimes.

Bring back the Shah, Bring back Saddam! Muslims are genetically incapable of establishing peaceful political systems, and must be herded like sheep by a strong man with a big gun!

Happy now?

The reality of this is that whenever Saddam left power, there was bound to be sectarian violence. It was a fait accompli. Of course you may think that a few decades of rule by Uday and Qusay may have cured all that?

Nobody blamed Muslims for the conflict between Catholics and Prostestants in Northern Ireland. Maybe we should!
