the only reason i think that we should have left him in there is to keep iran at bay. the power vacuum so many feared, the real reason we didn't go into iraq in the first gulf war, is now a reality....and iran is reaping what we sowed.

Hussein kept the people over there under control. I mean look at them now. I think that it is worse over there now then it was when he was ruling. That is what I meant when I said that he kept the country together. People weren't running around blowing up everyone. Haven't like 20,000 died since this war started? There isn't any excuse for mass genocide, but (correct me if I'm wrong) didn't he do that a long time ago? We also torture people here in the U.S. at Gitmo. I didn't even ever consider Iran. Thanks for the input.
