An Iraq without Saddam,

True.

an Iraq that will not repeatedly use WMD’s

Maybe true.

and an Iraq that is far less of a threat to her citizens and neighbors.

For starters.

An Iraq that is on the edge between civil war and an active democracy. Which way will it go? If it goes toward civil war, your last statement is wrong.

Is Iraq more or less secular than it was? Is the violence level higher or lower? How about average education level? Economic level?

What does any of this do for the US. What has the US won?
