Just on the scale of casualties for example: compare the war known as Operation Iraqi Freedom with the Iran/Iraq war in which both sides used chemical weapons and produced over a million casualties. The current war is a walk in the park by comparison, and has some advantageous exit possibilities now. Saddam also invaded Kuwait and attacked Saudi Arabia and Israel. Add to that the Taliban gone after their murderous assault on Buddhist culture. Yep, the Middle East does in fact look much improved after eight years of Bush. Too bad Obama is going to screw up with Iran.
