May be so, but Saddam held off much bigger Iran for 10 years. It was Bush-43, using American military for his own reasons (most likely revenge for purported attempt on his father by Saddam, which never succeeded if true) invaded Iraq and DESTABILIZED ENTIRE MIDDLE_EAST.

Destabilized? When was it ever stable? Israel hasn’t really been at peace since it was established. Saddam killed hundreds of thousands within Iraq, and over a million died in his wars against Iran and Kuwait. Also 9-11 — an attack on the United States that killed more persons than at Pearl Harbor — happened BEFORE the invasion of Iraq. (The United States has been better off since the invasion of Iraq. How many American casualties have we had since then, compared with 9-11? It’s been many years, but I doubt that we’ve accumulated the number we lost on that one day.)
Before the invasion of Iraq the situation in the Middle East was producing all kinds of harmful — and in the future possibly even more dangerous (e.g., from nuclear weapons) -—consequences. The fact that things were screwed up afterwards doesn’t change that.
” for purported attempt on his father by Saddam”
A very bad reason for a war.
“Also 9-11 an attack on the United States that killed more persons than at Pearl Harbor happened BEFORE the invasion of Iraq. “
And what exactly ít has to do with Saddam?
“Before the invasion of Iraq the situation in the Middle East was producing all kinds of harmful and in the future possibly even more dangerous (e.g., from nuclear weapons) -consequences. The fact that things were screwed up afterwards doesnt change that.”
Before which invasion? In 2003 Iraq wasn’t in a position to cause big troubles. It wasn’t that much a deterrent against Iran though. Although it is rumored chemical weapons were moved to Syria no traces of nuke program were shown ever.
