Anyways, saying that things would have been worse if the US didn't go into Iraq is crack-talk IMO...
1-The US still hadn't finished the job in Afghanistan and arguably has let the Taliban back into the game
2-Saddam was contained by sanctions and was NOT going to allow Al-Queda radicals a base of operations in Iraq...
3-The US is now severely hamstrung (the Army is becoming exhausted) limiting its strategic options if Iran, North Korea or Taiwan become a problem
4-And IF invading Iraq WAS necessary the US could have set a two-week deadline for Saddam (which he would have broken) that would have allowed other nations to join in the war without as much political turmoil.
Invading Iraq was a bad idea compounded by piss-poor execution...
