How could they possibly be better off with him in power? With the exception of the elite who beckoned to his every wish and demand, or believed what he did; they were oppressed, raped, murdered, tortured, and basically stripped of all their freedoms. If they don't realize it now, they will come to believe and know that they are in a much better place without the ruthless dictator we know as Saddam H. in power.

Of course they are glad Saddam is gone. He was an awful man whose people despised him for his atrocities. But those polls do not reflect their attitudes towards us. They are beginning to see us as just as bad and want us out of their country. They see us as making things worse for them and I can't say I disagree. They see our invasion of their country as the US flexing its muscles and using them for its own agenda. But, even though I didn't support the war (and I still don't), I am glad Saddam is gone.
