Whether or not Iraq was necessary, or even a good idea, it was certainly an attempt to "prepare the soil". maybe it was necessary for the Iraq people to get rid of him, just as we got rid of the redcoats. I think he was pretty secure in power. Maybe they would have gotten rid of one of his successors eventually, or maybe eventually his successors wouldn't have been as bad (although his sons seemed pretty bad and they where possible successors). One of the myths is that the colonists rose up with their weapons to defeat the redcoats, but the reality was that most didn't have rifles, only small game guns, and had to be equipt. Its not really a myth. Early on a lot of the colonists where using their own weapons, and later the militia often did.
