What the West decided to do was help the Reformation side win. To do that the West had to fight the Inquisition, i.e., the Wahhabi movement, Al Qaeda and other Islamic terrorist movements. The battle had to happen somewhere, and since the West could not fight everywhere at once, <b>the West chose to create a focal point for the battle, in Iraq</b>. Mr Kraft went on to summarize what the West did and is doing which is important in Iraq, quote:

(1) <b>We deposed Saddam Hussein</b>. Whether Saddam Hussein was directly involved in 9/11 or not, it is undisputed that Saddam has been actively supporting the terrorist movement for decades. Saddam is or was a terrorist, a weapon of mass destruction, who is responsible for the deaths of probably more than a million Iraqis and two million Iranians.  

(1)<b>We deposed Saddam Hussein</b>. Although Saddam Hussein was not directly involved in 9/11, it is not disputed that Saddam had been actively supporting certain terrorist groups for decades. Saddam was a mass-murdering totalitarian dictator responsible for the deaths of 500,000 to 1,300,000 Iraqis in democide and arguably for the as many as 400,000 Iraqis and Iranians who died in the [[Iran-Iraq War]].

(2) <b>We created a battle, a confrontation, a flash point, with Islamic terrorism in Iraq</b>. This has focused the battle. The ones killed there won't have to be killed here, or somewhere else. We have a good shot at creating a democratic, peaceful Iraq, which will be a catalyst for democratic change in the rest of the Middle East, and an outpost for a stabilizing American military presence in the Middle East for as long as it is needed.
