Reply #6: Well, we do hear that women had it better under Saddam, actually.

Any TV or radio program that focuses on Iraq, discusses daily life, and is actually FAIR in the portrayal will say that women had more rights, and people had more electricity, employment, and clean water in the Saddam era. That's painfully obvious.

I'm not a supporter of war against Iran. That said, I don't like their repressive, despotic government, either. I'd like the people, pissed off, fighting rampant inflation, increased unemployment, dealing with gas rationing, and laboring under a crumbling infrastructure, to decide for themselves that it's time for a serious change that doesn't include clowns in robes and black turbans telling them what to do.
