Universal Mind, a government always derives its power from the people. The problem is that there are guards of the system. In other words, the middle class who benefits from the dictatorship. But there in the same boat as the lower class, the government doesn't really care about them. If they see people being murdered and tortured, your right, they will be afraid. But when they understand that there not safe from the regime, then they would have joined with the lower class. The middle class always joins with the lower class eventually, because the middle class starts getting oppressed like the lower class because of the greed/fear of the regime of being overthrown.

Then, when the guards of the system stop working for Saddam, they will easily overthrow him. Without people to command, he would have no power. His weapons would be useless. He would be broke. No one would be afraid of him anymore, because the regime would have no way to enforce its laws and stop a revolution. Then after everyone had worked together to overthrow a common foe, then there might be some sense of unity among the people of Iraq.

The same would have happened to Hitler. The people of a country are far more dangerous than any army. The power of a government is derived from its people. When the people are fed up with a government, and realize that they have the power to overthrow it, they will always win. You can never defeat a determined population.

The United States screwed things up terribly by invading. The United States should have helped the people of Iraq to overthrow the regime, instead of us doing it for them.

The war was for oil in my opinion, not to help Iraqis. If we really cared about them, then we would have been helping people all over the world who had things much worse. But we don't help them because we won't make money by doing it.
