lemme ask you guys a question. did the international embargo on iraq during the 90's weaken saddam's regime? the answer would be a big fat emphatic NO!!!! on the contrary, poor iraqis became poorer, and saddam's grip on power solidified. how can ppl muster up the energy to revolt when they don't have food in their stomachs? the question that you asked is simply wishful thinkin. it ain't happenin. the poor cook working in dubai who left his family behind so that he could provide a higher quality of life ain't gonna stop sending the money back to his mom and wife (who would probably starve otherwise) just cos some dumbo said so...
