March 2007

http://www.guardian.co.uk/news/guardianfilms+world/iraq

Remember the iconic images of Saddam's statue being torn down which came to symbolise the end of his regime? Kazim al Jabouri was the man responsible. But four years on, he bitterly regrets his actions.

In this moving film he explains why he regrets his actions and why life was better under Saddam. We also learn the fate of the other men who helped pull down Saddam's statue - who have disappeared or been murdered.

@rwack7890 Thats wrong. Medicine and technology were studied both in eastern and western world, freedom is a debatable term

[rwack7890]

if it wasn't for the western world there would be no modern medicine, modern technology, and most importantly FREEDOM! So all you people who bash the western civilizations, why don't you move to some other country and go have fun without all those things!!

It will be the exact same story with Libya.

So sad that the majority of the masses dont understand the power of western propoganda.

I knew the moment that the news splashed those images across the screen that the Iraqi people were gonna have it much much worse than they did under Sadaam America has a piss poor reputation for rebuilding all the shit the military destroys just look at Vietnam and just like Vietnamese the Iraqi's will not be better off because of american military "Intervention" ...By the way

did they ever find those Wmd's?

It appears that a number of individuals remain unable to accept the folly that became the invasion and occupation of Iraq.

Political report that fails to cite perspectives of others who participated in the statue's demolition. I wonder if they too would be interested in Saddam's return, or whether they have benefited from his removal. Perhaps Journalist speaks as if it was a one-man job or that it wasn't already inevitable that the statue would be brought down by the crowd.

What's that, Mrs. Journalist? You don't care about the truth? Why? Oh, because there's an election coming up and you want Bush out? Gotcha. ;)
