Saddam was a SOB. I don’t think anyone is going to shed tears over him. What if Saddam was still alive today? Let’s say nothing happened the past 20 years. Fast forward to 2021. Joe Biden is the President of USA. Saddam dies of a heart attack. Uday Hussein takes over as dictator of Iraq (after killing his brother Qusay Hussein). The Kurds and the Shi’ites decided to rebel. This time Joe Biden intervenes. We get involved in the Civil War in Iraq.
It isn’t a “mistake” when the plan is made years before and unclouded 911.
