I knew a dude from Iraq. Back in the day he was wealthy in goats (its good to have goats), he had a huge family, and a huge house. During the first Gulf war the Iraqi Govt took all of his goats, Drafted him and all the men in his family. Even though he did not resist, they demolished his house right in front of him. As soon as he saw the first Americans he did the Iraqi salute. Remember that? Both hands up, "I surrender." Of his Family, he was the only one to make it to America. He had his brothers names tatooed in arabic on his forearms. Any time he spoke of Sadam he would spit. I was working with him the day of the 9/11 attacks, first thing he said was that Saddam did it. About 4 months later he dissapeared. He is probably in an internment camp now.
Anyways do you think that between the first gulf war and now the Iraqi Govt has changed the way they treat thier citizens? Highly doubt it. They live in total fear and poverty. His image is everywhere reminding his people that he will fuck them up if they dont worship him like a god.
