Hussein has been in power for a LOOOONG time. We here are to believe it is by sheer oppression of his subjects. Okay...
So you can walk into a gun shop in Iraq and buy a full auto or whatever else you want apparently.
With such a well-armed populus, how could Hussein stay in power unless (OH MY WORD!...) his people actually LIKE him?!?!?!
I mean heck, if his atrocities are so heinous and well-known, why don't his gun-toting civillians open up when the goons shopw up?
(what is the Iraqi word for "JBT" anyway? )
Don't know why I didn't consider this point before.
Anyone more familiar with the culture or any pertinent details- or even just a decent opinion, please chime in.
