Iraq would be better off with saddam in power

[Iriemon]

The reason the US would be better off if Bush had not invaded has nothing to do with support for Hussein's policies, but is explained in posts earlier in this thread.

There are two sides to this argument. Two legitimate sides. There are plenty of legitimate, legal reasons to remove Saddam from power. There are plenty of legitimate reasons to have not removed him from power.

It then boils down to a judgment call. I did not and do not agree with Bush's decision. Removing Saddam from power upset the applecart in the Middle East.

That does not negate any of the reasons to remove Saddam from power. It's choosing the lesser of two evils. It's no more complicated than that.

Fair enough. Some seem to be mixing up the argument that the US would have been better off not invading Iraq with support for Hussein's policies. They are not the same and my post was directed to that.
