        @BBCBreaking what a ridiculous situation, forcing democracy on the Arab world. These guys need strong leaders, not a political class

        @Hoopycamel I don't remember when the coalition tried genocide & then there's the terror of standing politically against him

        @Hoopycamel do you think the sanctions were designed to hurt the people or the regime, of course saddam would kill his people for his life
