“What was wrong with Iraq? Saddam Hussain was feeding people feet first into plastic shredders. There’s no moral argument against it, and no real legal one either.”
Well, other than we’ve killed far more Iraqi’s than Saddam ever did, have destabilized the entire country caused the entire Christian population of the country to be slaughtered and made it a breeding ground for terrorists like the ISIS I guess you’re correct. Boy did we show them! /S
And before we took out Saddam, lefties like you claimed we were killing hundreds of thousands of Iraqi kids with our boycott. Now, you want to blame America first for all of its dysfunction and the actions of foreign players. I guess you America haters can always blame America. How easy is that? But are you really that intellectually lazy?
Did we? Saddam was shooting next to hospitals, or on top of them, or next to schools and mosques. Islamists routinely explode themselves killing as many innocent people as possible. Are we responsible for every death that is the result of such behavior?

Did we? Looks like the surge was succcessful and Iraq was doing relatively well. The problem came with Obama and when he withdrew our forces and how he did it. At the very least, however, the Kurds are taking up responsibility, and, even with Obama around, I suspect they will establish their own nation and have a much better future than they would have had under Saddam.
