Once we made the horrible error of going in and getting Saddam and his sons, would we be better off if we had just up and left right then? Would Iraq be better off? I think so.

Now please do not take this as support for the invasion!! Just speculating about the options after Saddam was captured.

I’ll bite. I think once we were in we couldn’t very well stop, turn around and leave. It became our responsibility to provide nation building after that point. I think if we left it would have resulted in a catastrophe and a regime possibly far worse than Hussein. Iran would have most certainly taken advantage of a withdrawl.
