news related : DID THE US INVASION NAKE THINGS WORSE IN IRAQ? [+] serious ballot by Mithrandir created Fri Jul 07, 06 Saddam' regime was brutal - no question. There were prisons and executioners, torture, repression and little freedom of speech. But at least the violence came from one source - Saddam's regime. But now, the violence is all around, from all directions. Based on a memo from the American embassy in Baghdad, in June 2006, outside the Green Zone there is electricity maybe one hour out of three. Sectarian violence is exploding. Because of the power vaccuum, corruption is rampant. You can't trust your neighbours. Now, death can come from anywhere, at all times, no matter who you are. You can be killed for crossing the street, for going to the market, for driving your car, for having the wrong name, for being in your house, for being a Sunni, for being a Shia, for being a woman. The American military can kill you in an operation by mistake or otherwise, you can be arrested by militias and disappear in Iraq's new secret prisons, now run by Shias, or you can be kidnapped by the resistance, or by criminal gangs. Did the US invasion nake things worse in Iraq? Yes No Not worse, but not better either I don't know Comment Ballot #97041 : SEE RESULTS Comment: show your vote with comment?
