Bloomberg 04/08/13: "Was the Iraq Invasion Worthwhile? Ask an Iraqi"
Bloomberg 04/08/13: "Was the Iraq Invasion Worthwhile? Ask an Iraqi"
...From the perspective of the Kurdish people -- and I dare say the majority of the Iraqi people -- it was worth it, he said. War is never a good option, but given our history and the brutality of Saddams regime, it may have been the only other option to end the genocidal campaign waged by Saddam... ....All Iraqis lived under a regime that had complete disdain for human life, he said. Executions and killings continued at will. Thousands of Iraqis were being sent to the mass graves.. Saddam was a menace to the Kurds, to the other Iraqi communities, and an inherent danger to the region. He was, from our perspective in this part of the world, a grave and mortal danger that we could never be safe from while he was still around.... google any part of the above if you are really interested to hear anything about this from the Iraqi perspective |
