Ted, I never considered Saddam's regime to be much of a "stabilizing factor" in the Middle East. That line of thinking is neither logical nor moral, especially considering everything Saddam has done to oppress the citizens of Iraq, threaten his neighbors, and build power based on his twisted schemes. Even now, Saddam loyalists continue to try and destabilize the region. This is even after Saddam gave up like a coward. Iraq is probably not much more stabilized than a year ago, but at least we opened up the path to stability, and assuming Ken Pollack is right (i.e. all of the post-war problems were preventable), we are indeed able to travel down that path. You're evading the question. Is Iraq and the surrounding countries more stabile now than they were during the preceding ten years? ted
