I think you're full of hot air and here's why:
1. The reference to "freedom" is so vague and ambiguous that it could mean freedom from tyrannic rule, freedom from a caliphate (rule by terror), or freedom from an American occupation. There's plenty of room left to spin it either way.
2. Streamtime describes themselves as a diverse group of geeks from Amsterdam. Your claim that this must be part of a conspiracy by Americans is laughable and baseless.
3. Simply acknowledging Saddam's atrocities doesn't amount to propaganda. There's more than just Sunnis and Saddam loyalists living in Iraq. There's also Shiites and Kurds that are more than willing to express their contempt for Saddam. All this proves is that Iraqis are no longer afraid of Saddam.
4. I'm astounded that you fail to acknowledge al Qaeda in your comparison when they are such a major and deadly factor, murdering thousands of Iraqis. Where did all of Saddam's generals go after the invasion? I'll tell you, they joined al Qaeda! I find it increasingly difficult to believe that a majority of Iraqis still side with al Qaeda these days.
