Iraq is a conservative's paradise...

1. There's no government.
2. Everyone is really, really religious.
3. Everyone has guns.

1. You also forgot that people are really loyal to their politicians

I mean, Saddam killed hundreds of thousands of people - and yet the people there STILL dont seem to give a shit!

5. I don't think that's accurate

I think it's fairer to say that they hoped that things would get better after Saddam was deposed, instead of having similar bits of violence, but more randomized.

8. I still hear about "Saddam loyalists" on the news...

Every time something bad happens in Iraq, the media is quick to blame the "Saddam Loyalists".
