Are Iraqis really better off without Saddam?

When you hear the word Iraq, do you think it is a prosperous paradise for people to live and work in peace and contentment? Over the years, the news has given us the message that Iraq is not peaceful.

As the saying goes, there is no harm without comparison. Although Saddam's rule was dictatorial and cruel, it must be said that Iraq was gradually revived under Saddam's power.

At the beginning of the founding of Iraq, although the oil reserves were the third in the world. However, the oil economy has not been fully utilized and the oil market is in chaos.

After Saddam came to power, he first carried out rectification, nationalized oil resources and firmly grasped the road to wealth.

After the economic reform, the total GDP of Iraq has increased by 10 times, and the upward trend is getting bigger and bigger.

In the late 1970s and early 1980s, Iraq was a paradise on earth. At that time, the per capita income of Iraq was almost 100 times that of China. There are many old people in our country who worked in Iraq at that time, and they all experienced the prosperity at that time.

When Saddam Hussein went to court, he also said that Iraq was worthless without me. This sentence has indeed come true. The Iraqi people used to hate Saddam, but now they miss Saddam.

Under Saddam's rule, although Iraq's economy developed rapidly, the gap between the rich and the poor was very serious. Officials protect each other and the family monopolizes, leaving a lot of wealth in the hands of already rich people? Royal relatives and relatives? I have it.

Moreover, sectarian strife in China became more and more serious and suffered the most. People who could not see justice were naturally the lowest people at that time. So the Iraqi people tried to get a better life by overthrowing Saddam, and the best helper was the United States, which also hated Saddam at that time.

The purpose of the United States is also very good? Simple? Consolidate the hegemony of the dollar. As a result, Saddam Hussein fell, the country began to disintegrate from within, and Iraq became worthless.

This may sound exaggerated, but it is not as real as it used to be. During Saddam Hussein's 24 years in power, Iraq became the new york of the Middle East, and its military strength became stronger and stronger with its wealth.

Not only that, Saddam also promoted a free education system (eliminating illiteracy), a free medical system, free old-age care and free housing. The Iraqi people, who have been feudalistic for a long time, can also freely contact with western culture and travel abroad without restraint.

Moreover, men and women are equal, and women can also find jobs and enjoy the same treatment and benefits. In short, the happiness index of the Iraqi people was extremely high at that time.

And after that? Later, they thought that overthrowing a dictator would usher in a better life, but they didn't expect to bring countless dictators.

Domestic political power is in turmoil, armed sectarian conflicts continue, and foreign forces interfere in internal affairs. It can be said that there are internal troubles and foreign invasion, and wars are repeated. Nowadays, the poor suffer more, and the powerful are barely stable.

According to the data released by the United Nations on 20 16, what I thought was a good life turned out to be a mess. In just 20 16, more than 6,800 civilians were massacred in Iraq, and12,300 people were injured in the war.

Baghdad, once brightly lit, has also become desolate. The middle class in Saddam's time lost their jobs, and countless innocent lives died in the early days of the war.

War is always ruthless. After they learn one? Excessive freedom? After passing through our motherland, many people regret it. Perseverance without regrets? Is it a shame to miss the bloody dictatorship? .

As the saying goes, greed is insufficient, and snakes swallow elephants. Is the country that Saddam Hussein's regime wants to build under a big country? Utopia? . Generally speaking, it has been realized.

However, in just over twenty years, it is impossible to try to eliminate all the disadvantages in this process, such as class differences, corruption and monopoly.

However, in order to pursue a better life, the Iraqi people mistakenly chose to burn everything when their arms could not twist their thighs.

At least when Saddam was in power, Iraq was a country that allowed civil strife but did not allow foreign enemies to invade. Through their efforts to pursue freedom and equality, Iraq has become an unarmed country with equal life and death.
