Go find pictures of Iraq before and after Saddam was down and see how the life of the ordinary people was changed.

I am not suggesting dictatorship is good; but in certain level of civilization, it might be better for the majority.

The gross mismanagement of the Iraq war and its aftermath does not demonstrate that security and freedom are incompatible. Yes, it's much more difficult in some places than others, and a despotic leader is all too happy to point out the failures in order to justify their own tyranny. What really sucks is that so many people fall for it.
