I agree.
It would have turned out much differently when we had twice the number of troops to properly occupy the country and set up a government to replace Saddam.

I don’t think it works to “set up a government” in Middle Eastern countries. As bad as Saddam might have been, he really was only interested in stealing billions and holding on to power. We would have been better leaving him in place.
