So, who thinks Saddam was better?

Ah, that's quite a happy picture you paint of Iraq there, before the invasion there never was Iraqi terrorism or terrorists?
Think again:
Abu Nidel Organization (FRC) established in Baghdad, by a palestinian, Sabri Al Banna - December 1985 attacked ticket counter of Et Al, killing eighteen people, wounding forty, linked to the assassination of Meir Kahane
Abdul Rahman Yasin:
Born in Bloomington Indian, grew up in Baghdad - alleged to have mixed chemicals for the bomb used in First WTC bombing.
Ramsey Ahmed Yousef:
Obtained Visa for for Pakistan in Baghdad, April 1992, made numerous claims he was an Iraqi citizen (to date no solid proof is known of his origin) mastermind behind the WTC bombing, planned to hijack commercial fligts etc.
Terrorists are nothing new in Iraq, just like most of the world they have always had them - just like most corners of the earth.
