I understand where you're coming from. But as an Iraqi who have lived through the "war" and having several family members and close friends who were killed in the war (all civilians), I can't help but consider the objectivity in naming here as insensitive to the half-million Iraqis who were killed in the war. Not to mention destabilizing the middle east forever.
- user_7832 4y ago(Not replying to you but in general to the others) > as an Iraqi who have lived through the "war" This is why it's never a great idea to assume anything and interested better to try to keep things neutral and reasonable.
- 127 4y agoWhat do you think about Saddam? If he was allowed to continue, would that not have destabilized the middle east? I'm not making an argument here, just honestly curious what you think about it.
- jade-m 4y agoSaddam is a ruthless dictator, no question about it. The middle east has been already in chaos since Sykes–Picot and repeated international interventions were only making things worse. It's difficult to predict what would have happened had he stayed in power in particular with the Arab spring in 2011, but I don't think it would be this bad.
- nradov 4y agoYou need to look back a little further. The middle east has typically been in chaos at least since the fall of the Roman Empire.
