Yeah, he only did stuff like gas his own people, start a war with Iran, try to erase Kuwait from the map, shoot at U.N. planes...

"I predict civil war"

Heh, you guys have been predicting civil war for several years now, and overall violence is way down.

"The gunmen broke into the state-run Rafidain Bank at about 4 a.m., killing three on-duty guards and five others on the premises who were either on a break or asleep, according to Iraqi police".

Who the hell needs to be in a bank at 4am taking a break?

In a strange way, this shows that life is returning to normal in Baghdad. With the decline in terrorist bombings, normal people can go about their business, even bank robbers.

It's bad when the situation seems better because they're killing for money, instead of religion. I suppose the insurgency and the religious fanatics have impeded organized crime from taking root until now.
