People did not miss free speech in Iraq. But they now miss the security, jobs, and government services that were provided by Saddam.

I bet this is the argument a lot of people who were against abolishing slavery must have made. "A lot of masters are nice to their slaves. They give them a place to live, food and water... sure, a few masters beat, rape, torture and kill their negroes, but so what? Most of them are just fine. Slaves don't want to be free; they just want the security that a good master gives them."
