Also by Jim
 I don't think it was worth it. Personally it got me some nice times abroad, but that was before they really started fighting back and we were almost welcomed. I'd swap all that niceness I had to get one missing friend and colleague back. RIP Baz

Yeah it was worth it imo. Saddam left in power was a knife ready to stab us the second our back was turned.

Was it worth it really depends on how Iraq comes out of this.
My guess is it'll go downhill very quickly for them.
