Don't lose sight of how the USA backed Sadaam, and helped to ensure his control of the country to keep the Soviets out. We helped to make Iraq what it was! Yes, Sadaam was a cruel tyrant, but that is what it took to keep the country whole as we're finding out like it or not. Also, before Sadaam, Iraq was controlled by the British for many, many years. The educated people want their independance. The uneducated are manipulated and religiously intolerant. How do you win against those who believe they have a God given right to murder infidels? Very tough problem given the tools of modern warfare.
