No one disputes Saddam was a terrible human being who terrorized his own people. But it takes sheer ignorance to the facts and history to not see our invasion being B.S. and a historic blunder that has ruined millions of lives
The invasion destabilized the region, was poorly executed from the beginning with no exit strategy, caused the deaths of anywhere from half a millions people to over a million, and set the stage for even greater terrorist threats to emerge in communities where they previously had little support.
Your argument involves fantasized what-if scenarios of Saddam not having to worry about our presence that have zero basis in reality or evidence. He already had the Iraq-Iran war and the First Gulf War knock him down several pegs and was little threat outside his own country.
