The BBC tries to give this some negative spin, but the Vice President it absolutely correct.
Instead of investing all of his Oil-for-Food profits in water filtration, or desalinization plants, or electricity transmission and generation, or food for his people, Saddam Hussein bought solid gold toilets and illegal weapons. Instead of taking care of his citizens and giving them freedom and self-determination, he terrorized them and killed them indiscriminately.
And people are somehow surprised that the place is a mess? Welcome to the real world, people.
