Maybe the Saudis would have been fine, but not under the US dollar. If Saddam was in power, his country would be under control and spewing out more oil than any other country. Saddam would have most definitely pandered to the Euros and the Saudis would have to follow. In 2003 the Euro dollar was already worth 25% more tah the USD. When we invaded Iraq foreign investment went up substantially into the U.S.A. It made a huge difference.

You are an idiot.

Well who was in power for the last 30 years? What was stopping him from spewing out more oil than any other country?

Iraq's economy was devastated and there was no investment in oil exploration and extraction. The only people who can do this are the oil companies and they were barred from going in. The security council would never have lifted the sanctions on Iraq with Saddam in power.

You are an idiot.
