Would you have voted for the Iraq War?

I don't know if I would have voted, with hindsight, for this outcome, but if the major blunders could have been prevented, probably. If there was an Arab Spring (and I don't see why there wouldn't be), I doubt it wouldn't have spiraled into violence as well- perhaps not on the level of Syria but it'd be worse than it is today. Indeed I suspect Saddam would have proven far less stiff than Assad has.

The real missed opportunity was in 1991, where, had the war gone on for a week or two more, the Saddam regime would have collapsed. Again not sure how pleasant the aftermath would have been, but at the very least many more Kurds and Marsh Arabs would be alive.
