Yearning for the good old days.

Moammar Gadhafi. Saddam Hussein. I miss those guys. Think about how much better their countries – Libya and Iraq – would be. If they were still alive. And in power. Sure, they were dictators. But they kept sectarian factions. In relatively good and effective control. Because they ruled with iron fists.  Libya and Iraq aren’t ready for democracy. And Gadhafi and Hussein knew it. That’s why they were in power. Until the Western World, mainly  the United States, interfered.  And suggested it was time for liberation. Well, look at what we’ve got. If this is liberation. Give me an old-fashioned dictatorship. Give me Gadhafi and Hussein. Their countries would be better off. And so would the world. –Jim Broede
