Saddam?

Daniel,

Perhaps the removal of Saddam Hussein's genocidal, war-mongering, terrorist dictatorship, responsible for deadly Scud missile attacks, suicide bombers and the world-wide focus for violent anti-Israel Arab Nationalism wasn't such a bad development after all. It might even have led to the military encirclement of Iran, Gadhaffi gone, "Syria and Egypt consumed by internal problems, [and] the existential threat they once posed to Israel ... nearly disappeared."
