The situation before was appalling, Saddam Hussain murdered tens of thousands of people. The US led occupation of Iraq has created it's own set of problems and was unjustifiable on the basis of either WMD or preserving oil availability BUT, the next likely step if and when western forces pull out is a full on 3-way civil war.
