Getting rid of Saddam Hussein was not going to be the main problem when the US and Britain invaded four years ago. His army would fall apart, as it had done in 1991 when he was expelled from Kuwait, because Iraqis simply would not fight for him.
We have freed Iraqis and made their country worth fighting for, and lo and behold, they are fighting for it. Smart move.
