Why is Iraq worthless without Saddam?
There is a saying in China that "people keep tea cool", which means that the relationship between people is that people are there, and when people are not there, it will soon be another attitude. This is also appropriate in international relations, and it is vividly reflected in Iraq. Saddam once said: Iraq will be worthless without me, so why? We just need to look at the attitudes and actions of Arab countries after Saddam's death.

When Saddam was still alive, he used oil wealth to make Iraq the leading country in the Middle East, with wealth and civilization, which can be called Qatar now. Moreover, at that time, Iraq's industry was developed, other Arab neighbors went to work in Iraq, and Saddam Hussein also established a strong armed force.

So at that time, the Arab world had great respect for Saddam, and Saddam almost became the leader of the Arab world. Especially after defeating Iran and winning the Iran-Iraq war, its status is even more worthy of the name. Even Saudi Arabia, Egypt and other Arab powers have to give Saddam face. However, after Saddam's death, the attitude of the Arab world took a 180 degree turn.

Here is an example. After Saddam's death, there was a humanitarian crisis, stampede accidents, terrorist attacks and thousands of deaths in Iraq. However, as brothers, the Arab countries stood by and gave no assistance. On the contrary, European countries such as Spain donated money.

During the same period, Hurricane Katrina hit the United States, causing some losses, but the Arab countries were very generous and have been donating hundreds of millions. For example, Kuwait gave $500 million, and Qatar gave 1 billion, which formed a clear contrast. It can be said that Iraq after Saddam Hussein's death was not only chaotic, but also looked down upon by the Arab world. It can be said that Iraq without Saddam is worthless.
