If the real target is Iran, the U.S. would have been better served by publicly kissing and making up with Saddam Hussein and setting him as a pit bull against Iran and al-Qaeda (remember that Osama bin Ladin wanted to bring in his people and take back Kuwait from Saddam). After it's all over, then you can stab Saddam Hussein in the back and do whatever you want.

That's a great foreign policy for the world's so-called ambassadors of freedom, democracy, and human rights. No wonder we are so loved by all.

Couldn't agree more with you Christ, but i think PokrLikeItsProse wanted to stress something else. IF the real threat is Iran, things would go in totally different direction from the beginning. And here is the point - someone needs another wars / instability and that's scarier to me than Iran threat.
