Except even Trump says getting rid of Saddam was a bad idea. Saddam was a "threat" to who exactly? You think an Iraqi army was going to land on US soil any time soon? The US got nothing out of that war which cost $1.7 trillion and killed hundreds of thousands, about 5000 dead US troops and 30,000 maimed in the line of duty.  

I'm thinking the Kurds are likely happy to see Saddam gone.  Have you ever read how and what he did to them?

There are dictators in every corner of the Middle East and Africa, we gonna go fight all of them? 

The Kurds are now getting killed by ISIS instead of Saddam. And once ISIS is defeated in about a year most likely, then it'll be some other damn group. 

So instead of one guy who hates Kurds (Saddam) you now have a group that hates Kurds, Yazidis, Americans, Russians, etc. and anyone else who isn't a hardcore Sunni. 

Maybe we should just stay the fuck outta the Middle East, doesn't seem like anything we do there does any good, it just leads to more problems.
