I actually believe that the 1 good purpose Saddam Hussein did was to oppose Iran. His troops did kick Iran's ass several times.I keep reading this from the left wing, how exactly did removing the Butcher of Baghdad, an invader of Kuwait, a user of WMD and instigated wars with Iran, destabilize the whole region?
I also believe that Saddam had MOSTLY complied with the U.N. regarding his WMD; however, he publicly stood up to the US and kept the appearance - a show of strength for Iran's sake - that he still had WMD, which is why he was stiff-arming the Inspectors etc because he did not want them to declare to the world - and Iran - that Iraq had no more WMD. The threat / illusion of having WMD (posturing) was important to Hussein. They just played the 'illusion' out too long and gave the US reason to invade.
