None of us, whether we agreed with the Iraq war (I did not) or disagreed with it, would deny that it was a good thing that Saddam Hussein was no longer in power.

No, the real problem with that was, in terms of our invasion of Iraq, literally every other single god damn thing about it but that... especially the lies that got us into it and the complete lack of a competent plan to restabilize the country after doing that.
