As for the antidepressants thing, theres a whole literature on that and the antipsychiatry movement that implies nothing with regard to the war in iraq. But hey, people like to masturbate over being rebellious, especially if they dont have to face up to the consequences.

Saddam would have died an old, weak dictator in a country with moderate sectarian violence, as opposed being hung in outrage while thousands
more Iraqis died (and continue to die) in the streets daily to EXTREME sectarian violence and millions of other Iraqis were chased out of Iraq going as far afield as Norway

Saddam would still be torturing Iraqis and owning a country he had no claim to?
When he died or abdicated his two sons would have been involved in a power struggle?

Don't be so naive.. if we expect the Iraqis to fend for themselves and build their own country today, surely they would have been inevitably able to do the same thing SANS the invasion. Couldn't we have supported an indigenous, legitimate insurgency movement against Saddam rather than directly provoking an insurgency against our own American coalition? Iraqis hate America MUCH worse than Saddam, they probably could have chased that duppy away all are their own with out the paternalistic help of that bad Uncle Sam who borrows to much money and gets drunk and makes an ass of himself at all the holiday parties (like Ramadan
)
Plain and simple, WE FUCKED UP! Saddam was not a threat to the world, he was NOT a threat to the US, he was not a threat to Israel. He was LESS a threat to the Iraqi population at large than the past years of war have been, I say we picked the worse of two evils with this war..
The biggest threat to Israel is not Iraq or Iran, it is ISRAEL making silly and dangerous political moves in the region like laying medieval siege on Gaza or threatening to bomb Iran all the damned time, let alone the secret operations they are conducting through out the area..
We as a country continue to make the same kinds of arrogant and dangerous mistakes internationally, as we wage war against innocents, as we blow shit up illegally in sovereign nations, as we pretend that everybody likes us regardless of all this clearly bad kharma..
one day it will surely be time to pay the piper and these dudes holding the bill look real fucking serious my brother
