Saddam: irritating but stable. Intimidating to neighbor states. Tyrannical but contained. Internecine killings at a minimum.
New Iraqi government (so far): unstable. Vulnerable to neighbor states. Not yet in control, but will impose some aspects of Sharia law. Internecine killings rampant.
On the bright side: they are 7,000 miles away.
