Let me rephrase...(I'm a threat to somebody..everybody is). Saddam's regime in Iraq was not a military or political threat to any neighboring regime. Certainly not to the extent of requiring invasion.

Is it any better now that the Wa'habbists are funding the jihadist attacks against Americans and allies in Iraq? (Our military intelligence claims that these jihadists and Sunni insurgents appear to have access to 'unlimited' finances and near 'instantanous' resupply....) Or that corruption appears to be endemic in Iraq... with hundreds of millions or even more apparently having been siphoned off from 'Uncle Sucker's' funding, and from the reserves of the Iraqi central bank, (through the hands and actions of Iraqis), directly into Swiss bank accounts? Many experts have postulated that corruption is a greater threat to the eventual success of the American nation-building effort in Iraq, then the insurgent attacks are.
