yes, I too am sorry Saddam was deposed. He was a pretty good guy while he was torturing and murdering his people, killing mullahs, silencing the religious extremists and punishing the Iranian theocracy. It was just those other nasty habits of his, like thumbing his nose at the USA and launching rockets into Israel that bothered me.
If he had just continued to concentrate his aggression on Iran and his own people, he could still be enjoying his palaces and American candy bars.
His fatal flaw was underestimating the USA. His opinions were formed during the Carter administration, and reenforced during Clinton's.
Four more years of Carter would insured the stability of the Soviet Union and the creation of more than a half dozen more Red nations. May Carter be remembered as sleeping on watch while the Shah fell.
