You actually think it was in our interest to leave Saddam in power? You're actually arguing the "geopolitical balance" requires the cruel tyrannical Saddam ruling Iraq? Amazing.

All the US Presidents before had a strategic interest in keeping Saddam in power....This President....decided to go and take him out. Now the balance of power has tilted.. His stupid actions have upset the geopolitical balance.

Saddam has been a danger to US interests in the Gulf ever since he came into power. He invaded three neighboring countries, ran down his own country's oil industry, provided safe haven to terrorists (including a number who have murdered Americans, like the '93 WTC explosive maker)...I don't think any more argument on this point is necessary. It's a good thing that Saddam is gone - for both Iraq and the US.
