Hard to say at this point
I think it's far too early to say if the removal of Saddam will result in a better future for Iraqis, or a safer future for Americans, for that matter. Only time will tell.
I will concede that one unintended consequence of the whole Iraqi WMD caper is that increasing numbers of Americans have been alerted to certain, shall I say, unwholesome characteristics of American foreign policy. Whether or not anything positive will come of this new awareness remains to be seen, but I am not optimistic.
World peace will never be attained so long as there are powerful concerns devoted to a policy of tension, turmoil, and instability.
