Is the Middle East better off since the day before Operation Iraqi Freedom began?

What your chart very clearly shows is that violence in the ME exploded following the Arab Spring. Take a look at the worlds response that both led to and fed that little fiasco.

I suppose we would all be better off with Saddam back in power...What it shows, is that it exploded after the invasion, leveled out while continuing, then exploded again. Which brings me back to the conclusion, no its not better.

Wasnt that the intent of the OP...to play the shoulda woulda coulda game?Well the whole ****ing region wasnt destabilized.... We could play the would coulda shoulda game all we want. But one thing is for sure: Al-Qaeda/Radical Jihadis did not have the power to destabilize the whole ****ing region before 2003...
Much better off. Now the scum is seeping out of the wood works and we/they now know who to smack. These previously "hidden" factions are more visible now and are being drawn into open conflict instead of a "secret" conflict. Open conflict is always better than terrorism and criminal type conflicts.
It would be even better for them in the future if we had real strong leadership instead of a dickless muslim dog.

So...open conflicts are always better - even though they almost always result in FAR more casualties?
Okaaaaaay...I certainly hope you never attain military/political power.

It was a good plan. Attack a nation that had nothing to do with 9/11, completely dismantle the existing regime/military, stir up a centuries old religious conflict and gift-wrap the region to Iran.
It had to be done.
Two people said yes! Lol.
