Sure, the Sunni's had running water, electricity, etc....but what about the other 80% of the population?

At least with Saddam there was some semblance of order and I can tell you now, life for the next 20 years for the average Iraqi is going to be hell of the worst kind.
And with Saddam they had peoples hands cut off for running the wrong currency, the boys taking school girls and raping them, the gassing of the Kurds, the genocide of the Shiites not to mention the water cut off for their agricultural region. If we're going to talk of Saddams accomplishments lets cover them all. The Kurds and Shi-ites at least have a chance now.....80% of the country. Seems that the Sunni's in the Anbar province are also on board now. One step at a time..........

Have a good one!:s4:
