- Generation X (2003) - Interviews with Iraqi students before the war praised Saddam Hussein and castigated the American invasion. Now free to speak their minds after the fall of Saddam, their views have not changed.

These students were interviewed before and after the fall of Saddam's regime. Now, with the minders gone, their views haven't changed. We've just replaced Saddam Hussein with a greater power - the United States," seethes Uday Saddik. His ex-colleagues at the University of Baghdad agree. "We were helpless before, and now we are even more helpless." states Haider, who still denies Saddam ever gassed the Kurds. Iraq's elite students were always the most sheltered from the tyranny of Hussein, but their criticism of American policy is still damning.

"today one American died... OMG its a disaster"..." today one Iraqi died, so what they are Iraqis just like bugs or flies".... so true....
You got that backwards
Looking back at this, it was amazing how many Americans were fooled into thinking saddam was linked to terrorism.
Putin is new Saddam, Russia is new Iraq
The invader became invaded. Dictatorship is a tough and merciless business.
If you were Kurdish, Iranian, Kuwaiti, Shia, or any other number of ethnic groups in Iraq, you would've considered Saddam a terrorist. Of course, a few of the aforementioned groups would consider the US a terrorist state too.
Saddam terrorized his people, and his sons carried on that legacy. It's amazing to think that you justify that.
@zackhawn5944 20 years later and you're still repeating powell/Cheney/bush lies... Sa
"Today, one American died. 'Oh no that's a disaster!' Today, 1,000 Iraqis died. 'So what?'"
Yup. That's America.
This right here makes not sense. Speaking nonsense.
@@Dede-ke1bx America views lives in other countries (*especially* developing) as less.
@@breee4093 Him saying that some soldiers is dumb a shit. They can't control anything. He needs to talk to the government about that.
Well you can’t say America doesn’t care about its own.
@@DontUputThatEvilOnMe ur very smart
Iraq should never have been invaded. Unless someone explains the real reason behind it. Not weapons of mass destruction, not because of 9/11, not because of oil but an alternative reason that makes sense.
Coz saddam disrespected bush'father and warned bush father to kil him... And that's why it became personal for bush to take out saddam!
Easily, without a doubt, they were threatened by their education and power. Israel and USAs worst nightmare is educated arabs
USA, killed their own people 20 years ago 11 september 2001, to occupy iraq, for oil, it was a conspiracy.
@@averageman6630 after desert storm the US wasn't scared of Iraq they were scared that oil countries would switch to the euro like saddam instead of the US dollar
@@parthsharma688 I thought the same thing
Not even about weapon of mass destruction
Did she really try to take out the 9/11 anger on the people that had nothing to do with it ??
A brown person is a brown person to her
she was not prepared for questions
Most Americans, and peopIe in generaI, are extremeIy uniformed. Part of the propaganda to seII the war was seIIing the idea that Saddam Hussein and the Ba’athist were supporting AI-Qaeda. Ba’athism is a secular movement, the allegations was laughable.
Brainwashed by Dick Cheney and others 😢
in her mind it's like , "we suffered so someone else has to go through it also , right ?"
May God Bless Iraq People.
Yes give the people who saw it and experienced the whole terrifying trauma war healing in mind and soul also Muslim s suffering 😢 💔 😔 in Palestine tell now and Syria
Did that chick really say “we’re here defending terrorism!”😂😭 I think she meant to say “fighting”
No its the truth that came out by it self
Freudian slip hahaha
English isn't her first language.
@@a.c.9123 what is her first language American? Loll
Lol

Guy: Are you guys proud of what u have done to the City?
Lady: 🤷🏻♀️
Well its not her job to decide that.
He meant, the lady is the America.
Funny looking back how a 18 year old from America could have a better understanding of Iraqi issues than an actual Iraqi. Iraq was better off pre war than now
The young American troops are clueless! It's like they're so easily manipulated to think they're doing some good deed when they have no clue of what's really going on. Talking about 9)11 when Iraq had nothing to do with that, and one soldier saying he proud of getting rid of Saddam Hussein .. sound so immature!
they are just brainwashed kids.... Thanks to media propaganda
Form what I read the people of Iraq wants to do the same thing to the Americans even if they didn’t have nothing to do with it alll they see Americans revenge
@@tailsprowerfan2729 thats not true and you know its a stereotype we Are all humans and if you want you can come visit
@@thegreatmedevil6962 maybe I should just know what some of them say in the comment section and learn to control my angry
They are brainwashed like how Nazi wehrmacht soldiers were brainwashed by their goverment US goverment is evil
All of the anarachy that occured after the fall of sadam could have been avoided if the Americans had actually made and prepared a plan of real replacement of the institutions and organs of political government that are necessary for a stable country. Instead America had a short sighted and single minded goal of taking out sadam without any thought about the future and the small administrative details of what a country needs after a radical and quick regime change. If this was done properly like after what happened to Germany and Japan post world war 2, perhaps Iraq would be a thriving and powerful Ally. Instead it became a cesspool of anarchy and a perfect breeding ground for terrorism and isis. A failed state now that may never recover.
I don't see Japan or Germany destroying their own country without a government.
@@TSHEKHAN When did Japan and Germany not have a government? America and its allies installed a gov right after the war
U.S. did setup governments though, first the Coalition Provisional Authority in 2003, then the Iraqi Interim Government in 2004 until the 2005 Iraqi parliamentary election by the people of Iraq.
Yes and no even if their was a government similar to saddams to replace it right away, jihadi terriost would have tried to play some influence In the region.
You can’t impose democracy by force.
I heard a British girl! Makes sense before the dump shit b war started Iraq had the 5 best school in the world.
he was one of my classmates
미국에 10년만 살아봐도 미국식 정의가 얼마나 X같은지 알게 될 것이다.
We saw it in Iraq, we don't need to see it again
From that moment iraq it self died
4:55 when schools talk about George Floyd’s but not Iraq invasion
So who’s to blame? America won’t take responsibility for the harm done in the Middle East

@@theunitedworldofworkers7274 yeah because they're all under burka and hijab
@@jaybartgis5148 not all and hijab is not a bad thing. Burqi is a bad thing tbh
Can we see those students now in comments!!!???
God bless the iraqi people, the insurgency are heroes. These are the voices that really matter, not the ones from the imperialist forces like the americans.
Lol
İ am a turkish people, i am living in Turkey, Saddam was killing Turkmen people, but it wasn't like USA soldiers or İSİS, after fall of Saddam, iraqi people, and aslo Turkmen people,they want Saddam to come back.
Oh kinda like how turkey is killing kurds? Bro you have zero room to talk
Bro I'm a Turkmen, I'm really happy that our brothers remember us
If only i were born in our mother land turkey...
@@ayshanehsan1330 Allah sizleri korusun, god bless you🙏🙏🙏🙏
@@jaybartgis5148 they didn't kill kurds at all they kill mostly terrorists PKK
SADDAM HUSSEIN didn't kill turkmen
anyone know what happened to the girl Hasma Husni?
“We’re here to give you freedom and democracy.”
“We had that before you guys showed up.”
4:29 what? did she really just say that? what are they defending?
They are brainwashed ofc that guy just said that "Saddam did 9/11" even tho it was done by Bush
Defending Israel's interests in the middle east was what she meant
Freudian slip
You should mention the dates of interviewing these students becuase you have uploaded this video in 2019 and it is obviously these interviews seems between (2005-2010).
The situation is more better and different now this days. Be honest with your report.
Mohammed Kamal How do you feel the situation is today?
@@Sebastiansletteb "Better" than Saddam's days
Do you have any source to videos of how modern day Iraqi people see the situation? I am genuinely interested, but so far this is the only relevant video that I found.
Certainly they are "happy" to see their country becoming a total anarchic nation controlled by warlords like ISIS and of course they can eat democracy for Lunch, drive on top of "Human rights" and use their free and fair elections instead of Electricity or clean water
@@Ida-xe8pg Are most people for the current Iraq or were the people happier 20 years ago? Has living improved to any of the Iraqi people?
where can i find full documentary?
I hope Americans will get the pain back what they have given to Iraq.
How are these soldiers doing today? how does it feel to suffer PTSD from a useless war while u can't even call a fucking ambulance if u don't have the money for it?
_”greeted as liberators”_ 😭👌
First of all, I would like to tell Iraqis with all my heart and soul that I love, respect and feel sorry for every young or old Iraqi who died for no reason, without guilt because of criminals who had nothing to do there, they killed their family, children, parents, destroyed their homes, cities .. life and did it unscrupulously, at the behest of a miserable, lying president and a lying government and because of some soldiers who did not even knew what they were looking for there ,and that the enemy was not the young man or the old man killed but their own government !! Now the Middle East is destabilized forever, Americans have brought death, poverty, pain, panic, grief to their countries and souls and they don't care they say they protected them..lies ... they went there for oil, for fame and to destroy and subjugate someone who can become smarter and stronger than them !!
To all the soldiers who committed indescribable atrocities and killed innocently ... rest assured, life will not forgive you, you will die one by one, you will not receive help from the same government that sent you to battle (they don't even care about you) ..I read that 1 soldier commits suicide in 65 minutes, ... a pity but in life you have to know what you choose, you chose death and it's not good !! God bless every person who went through a war and suffered for no reason !!
It does not end with death. Then the real reckoning begins of the deeds carried out while on earth.
what happend to those guys ? guys if you are watching this comment
They need to go north and ask the Kurds.
Why should they?
First the kurds don’t see themselves as iraqis so no need to ask them...
Second the kurds got armed by the US and are against anyone who is not for kurdistan. They don’t want peace like the people who saw in the video. They only want their land on the territory or turkey, iran and iraq.
@@mohi671 the point is they are only asking the wealthy and powerful. I thought you liberal types cared about the poor and disenfranchised. I guess not. See whenever a dictator is killed there will be those who were benefiting from him being in power that are going to be sad he’s gone. The Kurds are human beings and have a right to exist like everyone else. They could go south and ask the shia muslims. I’d bet they have a different take on it. I for one and damn proud to have been there in 2003 to kill Saddam Hussein.
@@sappert1952 no one said the Kurds are not human beings they have there own homes and everything. The Arab parts of Iraq treated them respectively before sadam came in. And America funded sadam it was part of the plan to justify the killing of a million Iraqis
We're ok up here in the north never been better
9:30 let see how long it take this prophecy to became a reality
its already happing
Happening all over the Caribbean, they just want every island nation to become a tourist resort with golf courses and suburban sprawl from end to end.
ابو خد مشمشه خليها ومشى وين هذا اللي تحدى الامريكان راح انهزم للحفره الله وياك عبوسي
Iraq was colonized by us for 20 years
Comparing the Iraq War to 9/11 is insulting beyond belief
Documentary was released the same year US invaded Iraq. US soldier couldn't have known about Iraqi casualty rates.
Iran citizens should watch this.
I don’t think an invasion of Iran will happen anytime soon. The US government wants a coup. Iran is 17th largest country in the world with a population of 80 million people and an unforgiving land scape. An invasion of Iran would fail miserably and possibly bankrupt the USA.
SADDAM HUSEYIN LIDER ❤️
Remember what iraq did to Iran!!?
Stop freedom iraq
No Change
What do you call the Iraq war of Iran and Kuwait??
But what is the relationship between these two wars and the US war on Iraq?
"Iraq might be free" what a joke
🇮🇶🇮🇶🇮🇶🇮🇶🇮🇶🇮🇶
Everything you could condemn Sadam for you can condem the US for too
What were these Iraqi citizens doing to help their country? They are smart & articulate people. These people could have been huge assets to their country by assisting the Coalition Forces with cultural education and beginning the rebuilding process. It was not the American or Coalition Forces who looted and destroyed the schools, government buildings (other than those targeted for military strategic reasons) and community centers.
GRIM 7G They were going to become professionals and intellectuals before the US destroyed their country and killed 100,000+ civilians. The beautiful woman without the headscarf would be beaten or killed in todays Iraq, Saddam was secular. America is directly responsible for the entire situation in the middle east and should be deeply ashamed for creating such death, destruction and misery. What did Iraq ever do to you?
How could they do anything when they lost control of their country thanks to Zionist America? If you have no law and order you have chaos.
When everyone is send back to their homes and made unemployed, when u get democracy to eat for lunch instead food, when u wake up and hear bombing sounds insteading of ur alarm, when you go to hospitals for treatment after getting injured and they tell you to "F off" because they dont have the doctors or right equipment, things can get a lot intense from there
What a very ignorant comment
@@averageman6630 Its no though it speaking truth. You are just ignorant.
0:38 I call it "Colonization"
not even close, mate its an invasion
@@HaiderShami12 it’s both. Can’t have colonialism without invasions

Okay, I get that we have failed to rebuild Iraq. But Saddam was a dictator and he killed his own people. It seems to me that we all just fucked up in this.
Trump and his own supporters killed their own people and people of color
@@goonyrock1998 oh yeah, prove it.
@@xenomorphfromlv-4263 american invasion killed 2 millions iraqis!.. Maximum peoples killed by saddam is 500...now say u whitewashed idiot...
America will suffer one day! Karma......
You mean al-qaeda
yeah, a dictator we supported and sold chemical weapons to during the iran-iraq war
Of course it was Saddam who did the 9/11 its interesting to see that Americans dont say this nowadays
R u ok?
You properly missed taking your pill.
Iraq had no thing to do with 9/11 bruh. Americans invaded Iraq because they claimed Iraq had WMDs. Get some education.
@@safeamer1313 he was talking with sarcasm i think
