Ben Stein says: “Iraq Better Off With Saddam” & I Agree!
I’ve said it in the past and it just kills me to have to admit it, especially to my liberal wife, “We Screwed Up!”
Sadly, I am not the only one that thinks this:Â
 ”We were better off with Saddam Hussein running Iraq. It breaks my heart, but it’s true.â€
Political commentator Ben Stein said the decision to invade Iraq was a huge mistake and the U.S. was better off with Saddam Hussein in charge of the country.
In an interview with NewsMax pundit Steve Malzberg, who was filling in as host on “The Mike Gallagher Radio Show†on Salem Radio, Stein declared: “We’re losing the war. We’re three years in and things are getting worse.
“I’m positive we will leave Iraq soon,†he added, saying after the U.S. withdraws its forces “it will be a disaster.â€
Stein, a former speechwriter for Presidents Nixon and Ford and a frequent contributor to the “CBS Sunday Morning News,†went on to castigate the Bush administration for its invasion of Iraq: â€I’ve never seen a foreign policy mistake quite this bad. [Bush] just made a terrible mistake.
Saddam unfortunately was the only one who was able to keep the Religious nut jobs in the region in check, and he was able to keep Iran under wraps.Â
Now with him gone and his neck in the hangmans noose, the midget Dictator of Iran who happens to be a religious fruitcake of global proportions that puts Jim Jones to shame. This guy wants to feed a nuclear dose of Koolaid to Israel and all of the western world. With Saddam gone, this guy has grown much bolder.

I’m reminded of historical alternate time novels such as Fatherland or The Difference Engine and this is one of those moments.
While it appears that a Saddam regime of 2002 to offset Iran at this point in time is desirable compared to the current situation, they are still invalid comparisons. It’s possible that Saddam might been toppled over by Iran. Or that Saddam might have decided to use his new mass weapons of destruction to attack Israel. Who knows?
The “mistake” and “catastrophe” that Iraq appears to be is due precisely to the insurgents being encouraged and driven on by the western media. There are mistakes that were made, of course, including keeping the British drawn borders combining Sunni, Shiite, and Kurdish people’s all forced under the same tent. “Diversity” doesn’t work here. They should have been split into seperate nations and then security for each handled differently.
