The relationship between Saddam and the US has been a weird one going way back. Some believe that Saddam was set up on the Kuwait war. Who knows? I think that all agree that Saddam was ruthless and ruled with an iron fist. With Saddam gone, and the landscape of Iraq more fully revealed, perhaps we have some insight into the kind of ruler that is needed in Iraq to keep a lid on things. Certainly more positive change could have occurred in Iraq, through positive initiatives. I don't include invasions in the positive category. If something is to change a country it comes from within...not without. The trick then is to figure out how to influence internal affairs in a positive manner.
