One thing is for sure. Saddam’s gang would not want a nuclear-armed Iran. So they’d probably do the heavy lifting Israel now has to do.

Sure, Saddam was bad. But he was a counterweight to Iran. That check is gone now, thanks to that idiot George W. Bush. I guess W never considered the Law of Unintended Consequences.

Saddam is Saddam. But his sons, especially Uday were unpredictable. They were sadistic. So that's the wild card if we never took out Saddam. We might have intervened to take them out.
