So, what you’re saying is that Iraq could have been a better place ( better being relative ) has Saddam Hussein continued to rule the place?

I'll say it as well, YES!

We've spent THREE TRILLION DOLLARS in Iraq. And for what? It's in shambles.

Saddam had nothing to do with 9/11.

Turkey denied us entry into Northern Iraq during the initial invasion to root out terrorist/al-qaeda from our SOF teams. Its time for a little payback.
I've been saying for some time that we should have flattened Iraq's and Afghanistan's infrastructure, killed their leaders, divided the countries along ethinic lines, set the ethnic groups at each other's throats, and walked away.
The take home message is: You F with us, we will track you, personally, down and kill your sorry arse, we will destroy everything you hold dear, and your country will simply cease to exist.
The bonus in this case is Turkey, who wouldn't help us, is rewarded with a newly minted Kurdistan on their border. That Iran also has to deal with a Kurdish homeland on their border is a bonus...

And yet, Howard Dean was pilloried for saying in 2004 exactly what we are saying a decade and a half later.

Everyone (even some liberals) piled on him.

And yet time has proven the great Howard Dean right (or some Freepers are coming to that realization).

Perhaps we should listen to the pacifists after all.

“Saddam had nothing to do with 9/11.”

Beg to differ. HERE, on FR, were posted photos of an Iraqi command post with a mural showing Iraqi-flagged airliners flying into the Twin Towers. Iraq at least supported it, may have helped pay for it.

Hate posting links to CNN, but:
