Yes Saddam was a dictator, and so was Gaddafi. But I bet if you ask the people out there whether they feel better off now or before, sadly they would say under those tyrants. Why? For decades the people there had no rights/freedom to much extent (at least better than Saudi Arabia though, I guess), and there were any oppositions. But when the change arrived they got more rights than they expected and all at the same time. It went through their head, I guess. And all the opposing forces of before started to work for their vested interests and gain power. Sects, prevailed.
I don;t say that was good. Just look at Assad. Half of Syria is occupied by ISIS, and they are ever expanding. Is there any credible force that can takeover Assad once he is gone? None. Once he is gone, ISIS would probably run over Damascus within days. As of now I guess ISIS is a greater threat than Assad, but wait he is a tyrant and no one wants to work with him besides Russia and China and the likes. I say, be flexible and work with him for now. Give and take. The day ISIS prevails, Middle East might burn longer than the oil-reserves they have!
Why I am talking about dictators and democracy? Nepalese Constitution Assembly decide to get rid of the Monarchy this day years ago, thought it will solve everything. Same thing happened, we made our own mistake rather than learning from others. Our politicians? Even Syrians would love to be ruled by Assad rather than our politicians once they see their true colours.
Seven years, seven Prime Ministers and over million excuses later I still believe we got the wrong deal this day in 2008. It is among one of many public holidays that does not make sense anymore. You celebrate achievements not blunders, right?
Its hard to tell the difference between a democracy and a republic when you have same bunch of politicians ruling under different systems. Its officially a Republic Day but there are people who remember it to mourn the loss of Monarchy rather than birth of a Republic.
Down with the Republic (system)! Hail Motherland. Jai Desh, Jai Naresh!
