Keep the crazy enemy you know to stop new crazies from other countries from starting up? My goal would be to greatly arm Israel (a friend) to keep that whole area sane.
Saddam should have been eliminated years earlier. The war was completely justifiable.
Israel has enough firepower, including nuclear, to destroy all of its enemies.
They have had it for quite some time. Saddam was scum, but he helped prevent the chaos that has taken over the region since we deleted him.
