Well, not quite true I would suggest. There's been a number of uprisings in Iraq, all quashed by Saddam and his ilk. Given that a civil war did happen after the invasion, its not beyond the realm of possibilities that had a successful organic effort to see saddam off would also have led to civil war. the same underlying issues have been in place long before Saddam.

Subjective perhaps but led by history, I would suggest a highly probable scenario. As far as your statement regarding world safety, curious to know if that's just opinion or is there some way of determining that? Saddam was an odd bird and any future looking statement with regard to increasing or decreasing world safety to be considered accurate would have to account for his unpredictable nature. Not sure how you would do that.

Care to educate me?
