<Had they been removed while Saddam remained in power, he would have moved against his neighbors again.> The presence of our troops destabilizes the region. It is no coincidence that 9/11 was a Saudi-led operation (I am taking about Saudi nationals, not the Saudi government). Our troops in Saudi Arabia posed a large threat to Saudi Arabia's national security and political stability. We wanted troops there because we want power in the region and now we can station our troops in Iraq instead. There is nothing to indicate that our troops were essential at this time to protecting Saudi Arabia. Saddam's military was in shambles.
