In a way, yes. As the article points out, we all were the Frankensteins - and with some very good reasons, given the Iranian alternative. But our monster has now outlived his use and its welcome a long time ago, and so getting rid of it was the right thing to do. I just wish we had done our part in the mopping up, too.

Well, yes, they could do that - it is a well-documented fact, should they bother to open a few books from time to time. We all were part of the Frankenstein team, because our monster looked so much better than the Iranian super-monster, as the article rightly states.
That's why taking Saddam down was the right thing to do - and to me was a valid political objective, WMDs or no WMDs. I just wish we had sent troops to lend a hand.

You are right! An example of a friend then foe then friend.
Stalin was one of the worst. As bad as Saddam.
I thought about this right after I hit post.

Following that logic, then we made Stalin.
