Have to add here, that there were forgotten entanglements that the US was in during this whole business. We were legitimate peacekeepers positively effecting regime change in other parts of the world at the time that we were out profiteering in Iraq, showing that it could be done, that we were capable. From your POV we fucked it up because we're bad at it, and the current situation was an inevitability. From mine, we fucked it up not because we were bad at it, but because our administration went in for reasons unrelated to their PR packet, we misused and misallocated our abilities, we created the current situation...it was not an inevitable effect of removing Saddam from the region.
