They invaded a sovereign nation for one reason, to get their hands on the oil. The reason they gave was WMDs, they invented the "proof", the rest was speculation at best.

Did anyone sit down and try to envisage the gap created by removing Saddam. The consequences of internal struggles, external struggles and taking the lid off the area?

If they did, are those people still in the job of advising anyone above the paygrade of a Janitor?

The war in Iraq, led to easing up in Afghanistan, the Iranians funding terrorists, and to where we are today.

Saddam had a very effective way of keeping the Islamic idiots in line. He killed them.
