The Kurds probably not, but the Iraqis might.
As much as they might have hated him, I dont recall there being street fights on this scale, suicide bombings every day, innocent people being killed by insurgents, etc. He might have been a rutheless dictator that controlled the media, killed his enemies and it's a good think he has been removed from power, but with the thousands and thousands of innocent Iraqis killed by US forces and insurgents, the thousand US soldiers and the constant living in fear of an entire nation struggeling on the bring of a civil war, I have to ask if the price was too high.

They are the best at moving into a new area, driving the competition out of business, and then raising their prices.
Look...any of the economic systems are bad. Capitalism is the worst system out there, except all the rest (to coin a phrase)
Where 20 mom and pop stores once employed 100 people, they'll come in and employ 75, and call it progress.

Iraqis? Kurds ARE Iraqis. I think you're referring to the minority of the Soonites; of which Saddam Hussein decended. The other peoples of Iraq (the vast majority: Shiites, Kurds and others) were all oppressed by Saddam.
That's why it's currently taking so long for a decent government to be formed: there are MANY different peoples living inside Iraq.

Well, if you want to put it that way. And believe me, I do know about the difficulties of creating a government for people of different religions and ethnicity.
