Yes
If you believe that Iraq was in bad shape under Saddams rule. Now that can be seen two ways. The sanctions put on Iraq affter the first Gulf war sevearly hinderd Iraqs econmy, hospitals had alot of red tape beacause of chemicals used to treat patients may be used to make Chem/Bio weapons. Also the same can be said for clean drinking water. Now thats not saying Saddam was a good person. But before the first gulf war they were a pretty modern and wealthy country.

Yes, but Rumsfeld should have listened to General Shinseki and used lots more troops. Now Pandora's box is open and it is what it is.
