24. Plus, Saddam convicted largely works as an add-on argument to the old chestnut
"isn't the world better off since we removed Saddam Hussein?"
And now with 650,000+ Iraqis dead, the country in flames, no end in sight to the civil war, and longterm trending towards becoming a strong Iranian ally, and possibly also a terror haven, the old argument aren't we better off without Saddam NO LONGER WORKS.

Iraqis are worse off now than they were under Saddam even with the sanctions in place, and our position in the Middle East has been staked on a high risk adventure which failed, causing that position to crumble, along with our international prestige and overall military power.
