I didn't realize it was an audio file. I thought it was an article. SORRY!

Like America, Iraq will have citizens who have different opinions on things. Cubans in America talk of Cuba as the worst place on earth, yet they have a fantastic health care system and practically zero poverty. Does this mean Castro is a swell guy? No. It does mean that people measure freedom and happiness in different ways sometimes.

No one should have to live under Hussein. But as I've said before, and as I will continue to say, despite having a despot as a leader, they STILL managed to be one of the more liberal and advanced Arab societies. I think this is a testament to how awesome the Iraqi people are, NOT a tribute to Saddam.

I have an Afghani friend who KNOWS how terrible the Taliban was. She still opposed the war there. I have other middle eastern friends who hate Saddam, but oppose this war. People, contrary to your understanding of things, are complex, intelligent, and analytical. They don't view politics and foreign affairs like a caveman.
