He dealt effectively with the unrest, didn’t he?

Iraq’s instability was a function of its artificial borders. The country was rested out of the remnants of the Ottoman Empire after World War I, and it was cobbled together with different sects and cultures that never would have been part of a unified country if left on their own.

Establishing “democracy” in a place like that is a recipe for disaster.
