How Would the World Look Like Today If Saddam and Gaddafi were Still In Power? (safer, rated)

[ThePage]

If Saddam, Gaddafi and Pro-soviet leader NajiBullah( see Mohammad Najibullah - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia) were still in power and Syria stable how would the world look like today?

Less terrorism I think, the middle east may still be stable though lacking in human rights of course.

Like Syria.

I agree.

Iraq definitely would've been stable, but still lacking human rights. Oh and FAR LESS people would've been killed if Saddam were still in power.

It's sad and ironic - They went to Iraq to stop a regime and deaths from it, but in turn they actually got more civilians killed.

Exactly, and certain people have the arrogance to say that ''our soldiers are helping for the greater good'' morons.

You don't think Iraq was more stable and safer for civilians under Saddam than under ISIS?

I have read that militant Islamists celebrated the American invasion of Iraq. I bet IS and al-Qaida are very grateful, or at least they should be.

IS would be kept in check, and Libya would still be one of the most stable and prosperous nations on the African continent.

With a lot of blood spilled in Sahara. It was already a total civil war by the time of the Western intervention. Ghaddafi had already lost his grip, and Libya would be a new Syria right now.
