The Iraqi dictatorship was not stable at all. There were constant purges, murders, by Saddam Hussein's regime. That occurred the entire time Saddam was in power. Please explain how that's a stable situation.
The fact that Saddam had to constantly murder members of his own government, demonstrates beyond doubt that it was not stable at all. The routine execution of members of the Iraqi Government was required due to the extreme instability that such an oppressive minority dictatorship prompts.
- enitihas 6y agoYou seem to be confusing dictatorship with instability. On your criterion Russia and Turkey would also be classified as unstable, which they do not seem to be. And off course, stability is relative. Compared to the current state of affairs, Iraqi government 20 years back was far more stable.
- erik_seaberg 6y agoThe Soviet Union was systematically vandalizing their history to prop up dogma. I hope we rescued anything we possibly could. Thirty years of sanity after that is nice to see but a pretty modest track record. But I think I'm with Danny Hillis, anything buried and forgotten is safer than anything in a museum.
