The Iraq war seems like it was a bit pointless now since the Iranians pretty much run the place.

It was always was pointless. And stupid. And bloody. And counterproductive. Yes, Saddam was a bad guy. Just one of many in this world. But he was also an effective check on the Islamic radicals in Iran.
Bush II did Islam a great favor by eliminating Saddam. Just as Carter did Islam a great favor by eliminating the Shah.
Carter was naive, a little boy. But Bush II was willfully arrogant. I can forgive Carter. I will never forgive Bush II. I hate his guts.
