6. The Neo-cons would like to find another Saddam.....
to kick some ass and quell the whole country into submission so Halliburton, Bechtel and the boys can privatize and deregulate everything. The needed a Saddam-like leader, just not, uh....Saddam.

The Baath party is actually a social reform party. Iraq used to have a great educational and health system. Then we got involved circa 1980 and trashed the whole country, backed Saddam's worst atrocities and played both Iraq and Iran against each other. We perverted the whole place.

How about, a failure of biblical proportions?

Awful.
