Victim of Saddam Hussein's regime: 'Iraq was better off with tyrant Saddam in charge'   Updated at 12:18 PM

A VICTIM of Saddam Hussein's regime claims Iraq was better under his rule and is calling for an inquiry into the war.

British forces officially pulled out of Iraq last Thursday, six bloody years after invading the wartorn country, but Tahrir Swift, from Orpington, claims her homeland has been left like a 'festering wound'.

She said: "This is not what the British people needed. Anybody who lives in Iraq will tell you it is worse than when Saddam was in power.

"Women cannot go out without a chaperone. There are murders and rapes happening all the time. The water is dirty and there is rubbish everywhere.

...

"I used to live on a nice street which was quite well off by the Tigress. Now everybody has gone. I say to my mother 'if you go back there you will be dead in 10 minutes'.

"The Iraqi people will never accept domination. Now the country is like Palestine, a festering wound. There should be an inquiry and not a whitewash like the Hutton Inquiry. It is easy to destroy and bomb and demolish. Rebuilding is a different story. I was a victim of Saddam. It is quite something when you can say it was better under a genocidal dictator."

People like to complain. And their memories tend to be short. This Iraqi woman is not thinking clearly. If you were someone who never attracted Saddam Hussein's attention, I imagine he let you go about your business. (This woman may have been one of those.) Or, if you actually supported Saddam, you were okay. Otherwise, it was into the industrial plastic shredder with ya. :(

Who is Tahrir Swift ?

You might be surprised who she hangs out with, or maybe not.

US will rule in 'free' Iraq

 by Tahrir Swift

THE ELECTION in Iraq this weekend is nothing but a fraud. I have registered as eligible to vote, but will not be voting. What right have I, living in relative safety in Britain, got to decide what goes on in Iraq? Anyone whose father is Iraqi can vote, while many in Iraq cannot. Does this sound like a free and fair election?

And she has not lived in Iraq in quite a while.

Iraqi exile going home after 24 years

10:43am Tuesday 3rd June 2003

By Richard Simcox »

AN IRAQI exile who fled Saddam Hussein's brutal regime is returning home for the first time in 24 years.

Recalling the terrifying moment she fled Baghdad in May, 1979, Tahrir Swift says her two-week visit to deliver medicine will be an emotional rollercoaster.

Mrs Swift, of Ridgeway Crescent Gardens, Orpington, strongly opposed the US-led invasion and now fears her troubled homeland is being devastated by looting and lawlessness.

I'm sure she really knows whats going on in Iraq.  :whatever:
