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."
