Sometimes an evil dictator serves our purposes. Saddam certainly did, as you succinctly pointed out.

In retrospect, he was doing a fantastic job of keeping Iraq one federal country and keeping the terrorists OUT. He was a brutal, sadistic, evil dictator - of which there are many in the world.

He was not a threat to the United States, and we had no obligation to "liberate" that country.

A MASSIVE foreign policy mistake that we will be paying for for decades..
