Saddam was never a threat to the USA, he had no WMDs and had NO part in
the 9/11 or other attacks on us. His support for terrorism was limited to
support for Palistinians attacking Israel. OTOH, he was a bulwark against
the real threat - Islamic extremists like al Qaeda. Attacking him was the
equivalent of attacking Stalin while trying to beat Hitler in the middle
of WW2!

On that particular point, I'm wondering if we will ever get the full story
about Chalabi's ties to Iran. I have read some speculation that the
Iranians played Bush for the fool that he is. It is possible Iran got us
to do their work for them. Possible, but probably doubtful. The current
crop of Iranian leaders just don't seem to have that kind of subtlety.
