Nope. Knocking off Saddam led directly to what we are seeing now. That area is unstable. With Kurds, Shia and Sunni, none of which can stand the others, so this was a ticking time bomb ever since Saddam was removed.

The only way to have headed this off would have been to keep our troops there for a much, much longer time. Like at least 50 years and probably longer.

The war was ill-advised. As was noted here many times. For many of the reasons which were detailed here. The handwriting was on the wall when Maliki decided to run the country as if it were Shia only and marginalized the Sunnis.

So, you were told it would fail and given reasons why it was going to. You and your ilk decided to do it anyway. So when it looks to fail for the stated reasons, you blame someone else. Typical 6 year old's response.
