Democracy versus Dictatorship

Newsday

Available for over a year

There was a huge amount of interest on the Âé¶¹Éç World Service Facebook page and Twitter feed on the comments made about Saddam Hussein and Colonel Gadaffi by the US Presidential hopeful Donald Trump. He suggested the world would be a better place if those two leaders had remained in power in Iraq and Libya. So would those two countries be in better shape had the two dictators remained? Newsday hosted a discussion between Lina Khatib, a researcher with a group called the Arab Reform Initiative and former Âé¶¹Éç news correspondent Humphrey Hawksley, who has written a book entitled "Democracy Kills" (Photo: Former Iraqi President Saddam Hussein in 1995.
