I pretty much agree with him on Saddam, only the future will tell if it ends up being the right decision but I suspect anarchy and violence will prevail in Iraq for many years to come. Saddam ruled with an iron fist but when you have so many factions willing to kill themselves and their own that's how it has to be. Some countries just aren't ready for democracy.

“Politicians are too worried about elections,” he said. “We did a terrible thing when we supported the idea of getting rid of Saddam Hussein. He was the only one who could control that country. It was the same [with the Taleban]. We move into countries and we have no idea of the culture. The Americans probably thought Bosnia was a town in Miami. There are people starving in Africa and we sit back and do nothing but we get involved in things we should leave alone.”
