Can you fucks stop hyping up brutal dictators like Saddam and Gaddafi?
They were just as shit as now.
He told me a story about how they would show pictures of Saddam to kindergardeners and ask "Who is this?"
They were expected to say "Baba Saddam" but one girl said "That's the guy my dad spits at whenever he comes on TV"
He said their entire family was killed

I'd rather have stability than the freedom to be decapitated by some militant tbqf.

>>51181256
Just because instability was caused by the removal of dictators doesn't mean it wasn't just in nature.
>>51181275
You would also have the freedom of getting tortured and executed if you said anything remotely bad about Saddam and his regime.
>>
>>51181322
That's easier to avoid than being tortured and executed for being a non-believer, homo, appreciating music, etc.

Gee, it's almost as if Western ideals aren't compatible with Middle East cultures.

Try telling the labourers and maids in those countries you listed just how free they are.

Of course he talks like this if he lives in the US.
Now it's Assad, and after this they will find their new "Hitler". Murrikans are just terrorists.
