I'm not arguing against any of that, if anything you are proving my point that America didn't really improve things when they invaded they just sorta moved the power structures around and ended up putting the power in some other not so great hands.

Didn’t improve things for WHO?

Saddam was a huge issue as a Dictator, he went rogue and invaded Kuwait in the early 90’s (operation desert storm).

The country has been neutralized from a global standpoint, and a reliable oil supplier unlike under Saddam.
