I never said it did. You were the one who claimed that. Personally I saw the removal of Saddam as little more than a case of finishing off ones present enemy in order to concentrate on a new one.
Saddam still in power and growing in strength as western attention waned was a threat not to be ignored.

Nothing much to take revenge with? Are you serious? How about a few gazillion petro dollars and dictatorial powers? You seriously think that they wouldn't be all he needed?

I pick instead that Saddam was the architect of his own fate and that the world is a better place without him.
