If you were Kurdish, Iranian, Kuwaiti, Shia, or any other number of ethnic groups in Iraq, you would've considered Saddam a terrorist. Of course, a few of the aforementioned groups would consider the US a terrorist state too.
Most Americans, and peopIe in generaI, are extremeIy uniformed. Part of the propaganda to seII the war was seIIing the idea that Saddam Hussein and the Ba’athist were supporting AI-Qaeda. Ba’athism is a secular movement, the allegations was laughable.
Iraq should never have been invaded. Unless someone explains the real reason behind it. Not weapons of mass destruction, not because of 9/11, not because of oil but an alternative reason that makes sense.
@@averageman6630 after desert storm the US wasn't scared of Iraq they were scared that oil countries would switch to the euro like saddam instead of the US dollar
Yes give the people who saw it and experienced the whole terrifying trauma war healing in mind and soul also Muslim s suffering 😢 💔 😔 in Palestine tell now and Syria
Funny looking back how a 18 year old from America could have a better understanding of Iraqi issues than an actual Iraqi. Iraq was better off pre war than now
The young American troops are clueless! It's like they're so easily manipulated to think they're doing some good deed when they have no clue of what's really going on. Talking about 9)11 when Iraq had nothing to do with that, and one soldier saying he proud of getting rid of Saddam Hussein .. sound so immature!
Form what I read the people of Iraq wants to do the same thing to the Americans even if they didn’t have nothing to do with it alll they see Americans revenge
All of the anarachy that occured after the fall of sadam could have been avoided if the Americans had actually made and prepared a plan of real replacement of the institutions and organs of political government that are necessary for a stable country. Instead America had a short sighted and single minded goal of taking out sadam without any thought about the future and the small administrative details of what a country needs after a radical and quick regime change. If this was done properly like after what happened to Germany and Japan post world war 2, perhaps Iraq would be a thriving and powerful Ally. Instead it became a cesspool of anarchy and a perfect breeding ground for terrorism and isis. A failed state now that may never recover.
U.S. did setup governments though, first the Coalition Provisional Authority in 2003, then the Iraqi Interim Government in 2004 until the 2005 Iraqi parliamentary election by the people of Iraq.
Yes and no even if their was a government similar to saddams to replace it right away, jihadi terriost would have tried to play some influence In the region.
İ am a turkish people, i am living in Turkey, Saddam was killing Turkmen people, but it wasn't like USA soldiers or İSİS, after fall of Saddam, iraqi people, and aslo Turkmen people,they want Saddam to come back.
You should mention the dates of interviewing these students becuase you have uploaded this video in 2019 and it is obviously these interviews seems between (2005-2010). The situation is more better and different now this days. Be honest with your report.
Do you have any source to videos of how modern day Iraqi people see the situation? I am genuinely interested, but so far this is the only relevant video that I found.
Certainly they are "happy" to see their country becoming a total anarchic nation controlled by warlords like ISIS and of course they can eat democracy for Lunch, drive on top of "Human rights" and use their free and fair elections instead of Electricity or clean water
How are these soldiers doing today? how does it feel to suffer PTSD from a useless war while u can't even call a fucking ambulance if u don't have the money for it?
Why should they? First the kurds don’t see themselves as iraqis so no need to ask them... Second the kurds got armed by the US and are against anyone who is not for kurdistan. They don’t want peace like the people who saw in the video. They only want their land on the territory or turkey, iran and iraq.
@@mohi671 the point is they are only asking the wealthy and powerful. I thought you liberal types cared about the poor and disenfranchised. I guess not. See whenever a dictator is killed there will be those who were benefiting from him being in power that are going to be sad he’s gone. The Kurds are human beings and have a right to exist like everyone else. They could go south and ask the shia muslims. I’d bet they have a different take on it. I for one and damn proud to have been there in 2003 to kill Saddam Hussein.
@@sappert1952 no one said the Kurds are not human beings they have there own homes and everything. The Arab parts of Iraq treated them respectively before sadam came in. And America funded sadam it was part of the plan to justify the killing of a million Iraqis
God bless the iraqi people, the insurgency are heroes. These are the voices that really matter, not the ones from the imperialist forces like the americans.
I don’t think an invasion of Iran will happen anytime soon. The US government wants a coup. Iran is 17th largest country in the world with a population of 80 million people and an unforgiving land scape. An invasion of Iran would fail miserably and possibly bankrupt the USA.
First of all, I would like to tell Iraqis with all my heart and soul that I love, respect and feel sorry for every young or old Iraqi who died for no reason, without guilt because of criminals who had nothing to do there, they killed their family, children, parents, destroyed their homes, cities .. life and did it unscrupulously, at the behest of a miserable, lying president and a lying government and because of some soldiers who did not even knew what they were looking for there ,and that the enemy was not the young man or the old man killed but their own government !! Now the Middle East is destabilized forever, Americans have brought death, poverty, pain, panic, grief to their countries and souls and they don't care they say they protected them..lies ... they went there for oil, for fame and to destroy and subjugate someone who can become smarter and stronger than them !! To all the soldiers who committed indescribable atrocities and killed innocently ... rest assured, life will not forgive you, you will die one by one, you will not receive help from the same government that sent you to battle (they don't even care about you) ..I read that 1 soldier commits suicide in 65 minutes, ... a pity but in life you have to know what you choose, you chose death and it's not good !! God bless every person who went through a war and suffered for no reason !!
What were these Iraqi citizens doing to help their country? They are smart & articulate people. These people could have been huge assets to their country by assisting the Coalition Forces with cultural education and beginning the rebuilding process. It was not the American or Coalition Forces who looted and destroyed the schools, government buildings (other than those targeted for military strategic reasons) and community centers.
GRIM 7G They were going to become professionals and intellectuals before the US destroyed their country and killed 100,000+ civilians. The beautiful woman without the headscarf would be beaten or killed in todays Iraq, Saddam was secular. America is directly responsible for the entire situation in the middle east and should be deeply ashamed for creating such death, destruction and misery. What did Iraq ever do to you?
When everyone is send back to their homes and made unemployed, when u get democracy to eat for lunch instead food, when u wake up and hear bombing sounds insteading of ur alarm, when you go to hospitals for treatment after getting injured and they tell you to "F off" because they dont have the doctors or right equipment, things can get a lot intense from there
Okay, I get that we have failed to rebuild Iraq. But Saddam was a dictator and he killed his own people. It seems to me that we all just fucked up in this.
@@xenomorphfromlv-4263 american invasion killed 2 millions iraqis!.. Maximum peoples killed by saddam is 500...now say u whitewashed idiot... America will suffer one day! Karma......
"today one American died... OMG its a disaster"..." today one Iraqi died, so what they are Iraqis just like bugs or flies".... so true....
You got that backwards
Looking back at this, it was amazing how many Americans were fooled into thinking saddam was linked to terrorism.
Putin is new Saddam, Russia is new Iraq
The invader became invaded. Dictatorship is a tough and merciless business.
If you were Kurdish, Iranian, Kuwaiti, Shia, or any other number of ethnic groups in Iraq, you would've considered Saddam a terrorist. Of course, a few of the aforementioned groups would consider the US a terrorist state too.
Saddam terrorized his people, and his sons carried on that legacy. It's amazing to think that you justify that.

in her mind it's like , "we suffered so someone else has to go through it also , right ?"
Iraq should never have been invaded. Unless someone explains the real reason behind it. Not weapons of mass destruction, not because of 9/11, not because of oil but an alternative reason that makes sense.
Coz saddam disrespected bush'father and warned bush father to kil him... And that's why it became personal for bush to take out saddam!
Easily, without a doubt, they were threatened by their education and power. Israel and USAs worst nightmare is educated arabs
