The rise and fall of Saddam Hussein (the 5th Anniversary of American Invasion of Iraq)

Sadam's last few days - I really do not think today that America has done anything better in Iraq and still firmly believe that through sustained international dialogue and mediation, one would have ensured a smooth transition of power in Iraq. one shouldmnever forget the fact that Saddam had a big role in shaping the modern day Iraq , which is in tatters.
