Nice Post Flap, respectfully, I disagree on a number of points. Not to dive too deeply but, you said "Hussein kept the other countries around him in check, Iran was scared to death of him after thier war in the early 80's for example."
So how do you think these countries feel now that the US toppled Hussein in a matter of days? Something they couldnt do in years?
We are failing at stabilizing the region, but we could have just walked away after we destroyed their infrstructure, military and government. Dont think thats not on the mind of every leader in the region.
