Excuse me? When exactly did Iraq become a fundy state? Criminals attacking random people because they think their religion tells them to are not exactly an indication of what a country stands for.

My point exactly. Iraq was not secure; anything happening now is *nothing* compared to what it was like under Saddam. This time it'll get better, instead of deteriorating.

That is because your response to my original point isn't even worth discussing. Saddam released criminals. We now have criminals that are attacking women because "god told them to". They're still criminals.
(Edit: I'm not saying these guys were the same criminals Saddam released. I'm just saying they're criminals *too*)
