Don't forget the liberals who also supported the war. Hindsight leaves both sides of the isle wanting.
Then of course, nobody but nobody knows what the planet would look like had the war not been undertaken. Islam is a catch 2 with no solution no matter what you do. Mohammed essentially said. "conquer the world for Allah" and that's what Islam is about. Did the demise of Saddam hasten or curtail that goal? Nobody knows for sure.
As I understand the Biblical prophecies they will become the predominate military force with UN's blessing allied with the old communist block. It all leads up to the final Armageddon where the nations are prophesied to be drawn into the region for the final bloody biggy before the 2nd advent of messiah/christ Jesus who will rule the world at the temple mount in Jerusalem for a millenium.
It's fulfillment of prophecy. Read it in Zechariah 14, Ezekiel 38, 39, Joel and elsewhere. End time focus is emerging in the Mid East where Israel has been regathered and reborn as the messianic nation exactly as Jesus, and the prophets foretold with Israel the focus and bone of contention. It's all about who will prevail, the prophet of Allah, Mohammed or the prophet/messiah of Jehovah, Jesus at the temple mount for world domination.
