Iraqis better off under Saddam

According to Hans Blix anyway.

In an interview with a Danish newspaper [refered to by CBC News], the former Chief UN Weapons Inspector in Iraq is quoted as saying this:

If the Americans pull out, there is a risk that they will leave a country in civil war. At the same time it doesn't seem that the United States can help to stabilize the situation by staying there.

And this:

Saddam would still have been sitting in office. OK, that is negative and it would not have been joyful for the Iraqi people. But what we have gotten is undoubtedly worse.

Take that GW.
