When Saddam was in power, Iraq’s Islamists were suppressed (brutally), and Iraq was a foe of Iran. After we toppled Saddam, the Islamists were free to burn and pillage - more so than ever now, but they’ve been doing so for a decade. A Iraq became an ally of Iran.

Boy, it sure was smart to spent trillions of dollars (that we don’t have) and thousands of lives, to topple Saddam.

Nothing more needs to be said.
