An interesting comment showed up here today from reader Khayer, who appears to be British (he put the word “British” in the URL field of the comments section, and notes a BBC report):
whether saddam was an evil man i do not know for
i only see what the media of my country shows me.
the thing that bothered me the most was that to get hold of one man our country and america killed
very very huge numbers of Iraqi’s. i saw some scenes of the war on a bbc footage and all i saw was fear in the eyes of the people, terror.
Khayer, Saddam was killing Iraqis at such a huge rate, that removing him has saved far more Iraqi lives than were lost in the war:
In the raw mathematics called body count, dropping Saddam’s fascist death machine saved 50,000 to 60,000 Iraqi lives the innocents his henchmen would have slain during 2003 while the United Nations fiddled and France burned with anti-American ressentiment.Iraqis freed of Saddam’s moment-by-moment terror know American GIs brought that blessing, belated as it is.
Like much of the major media, the BBC isn’t covering the whole story. For a great example, check this out.
Khayer, thanks for raising a good question. I hope this info provides some useful feedback.
