Influence? Iraq influence under Saddam would be an improvement to Iran influence, which is largely based on terrorism?

Are you saying two dictatorships in an arms race is the best scenario?

Iraq was our ally who we propped up against Iran to start with. If Saddam had not gone into Kuwait he would probably still be our ally. We made things far worse in the long run by taking him out and leaving a vacuum now occupied by Iran.
