Current Events > Remember Saddam Hussein?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Assuming that he wasn't ousted, how might things have turned out differently in the region?

Probably would have been more stable than it is now.

I still don't understand why exactly we went to Iraq in the first place. We just made things a lot worse for ourselves and for the whole region by doing so.

he knew how to crack down on the people. ISIS never would have gained ground there

Saddam and gaddaffi still alive middle east is fine isis never existed syria never happens alot of mistakes we never learn from same with North Korea

as fucked up as Saddam was, I would prefer him and containing his evil to Iraq, over ISIS forming and attacking the world.

I see people say he would have stabilized Iraq and it's such a farce. This is a man who invaded Kuwait partially because the emir called Iraqi women hookers, incited ethnic uprisings constantly throughout his regime, and intentionally bluffed about WMD's with a dummy in the White House threatening his removal because he wanted to look strong against Iran and he figured he could weather a few American missiles if it came down to it.

That sure sounds like stable behavior.
