After Saddam Hussein’s forces were defeated in Iraq and driven from Kuwait, US and Allied leaders had a decision to make. Saddam

Hussein was a brutal dictator who victimized his own people and was proven to be willing to engage in warlike activities with neighboring nations. At the same time, the people of Iraq were divided along religious and ethnic lines. Without a strong leader, the country might devolve into chaos. US leaders decided to keep Saddam Hussein in charge of Iraq with severe limits on Iraq’s military. It was thought that the instability that might rise without a strong leader in Iraq was worse than Hussein’s brutal rule.
Put yourself in the difficult position of making the decision as to whether to remove a dictator from control of an unstable country. What arguments could be made for removing the dictator? What arguments could be made for keeping the dictator in power?

Answer:

What arguments could be made for removing the dictator?

Arguments for removing the dictator are: allowing the country to establish a democracy. Helping out or improving the situation of those demographic groups that were oppressed by the dictator. Another argument is simply punishing the dictator for his crimes.

What arguments could be made for keeping the dictator in power?

The main argument for keeping the dictator is to ensure the stability of the country, even if such stability is unfair at many times, and comes along with the oppresion of certain social and political groups.

Another argument is simply to prevent the country from getting worse.

A final argument is pragmatic: keeping the dictator in power might serve everyone's interests better. Democratic countries have frequently established ties with authoritarian governments.

What religious differences led to turmoil in Europe?
romanna [79]
“The Reformation (alternatively named the Protestant Reformation or the European Reformation)[1] was a major movement within Western Christianity in 16th-century Europe that posed a religious and political challenge to the Catholic Church and in particular to papal authority, arising from what were perceived to be errors, abuses, and discrepancies by the Catholic Church. The Reformation was the start of Protestantism and the split of Protestantism from the Roman Catholic Church.

Although the Reformation is usually considered to have started with the publication of the Ninety-five Theses by Martin Luther in 1517, there was no schism between the Catholic Church and the nascent Luther until the 1521 Edict of Worms. The edict condemned Luther and officially banned citizens of the Holy Roman Empire from defending or propagating his ideas.[2] The end of the Reformation era is disputed: it could be considered to end with the enactment of the confessions of faith. Other suggested ending years relate to the Counter-Reformation or the Peace of Westphalia. From a Catholic perspective, the Second Vatican Council called for an end to the Counter-Reformation.[3]” -Wikipedia this has information i don’t know if it’s what your looking for but.
