I do think we were irresponsible for going into Iraq for a variety of other reasons

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.

I want to be on record here and now as one pining for the good old days when Saddam was in power.
