I dont have a problem with your post in general but i do with what you have as US agenda items you list below:
"- rid Iraq of Saddam
- get a nice functioning society going with a leadership that was kindly to the US and unafraid to use internal police powers (damn any human rights abuses) to keep internal terrorist development at bay
- threaten other countries in the region with same
- sit back and collect the rewards."

I think you concentrate way too much on institution of a repressive regime being our goal. I do believe we want democracy and an example for other arab states of a path to take. In so doing if they have to be tough with terrorists so be it.
