That I very much doubt ! During the time he was in power, he took us into 2 wars on no merit whatsoever

IF US HAD NOT INVADED civil war would still have happened. Saddam was not going to live forever and sectarian division was only getting more intense while he was in power. Other countries even less concerned with the quality of life of ordinary Iraqis were already trying to invade Iraq. Saudi Arabia Iran and Turkey, have all made attempts and there would have been nothing to stop them if coalition forces hadn’t been present. If the US had not been there far more people would have died.

WMD was only one of the points made by Bush and Blair, Blair was making the case for going into Iraq on humanitarian grounds in 1997 (when Bush was a nobody), the US senate passed the Iraq liberation act unanimously in 1998 on humanitarian grounds.
