Is world better without Saddam?

[abaris]

Toppling Saddam was the plan, just like Iraq had WMDs.  The plan, as you so astutely noticed above, seems to have been to secure points of economic interest and farm out contracts to private business.

Well, yes. So? Doesn't that strike you as entirely pukeworthy? Don't you feel duped?

Frankly, that leads to what I said earlier. If a dictator is toppled, it's because of economical and/or political reasons. That's but one of the reasons why I don't buy the better off narrative.
