Exactly. Well said. The U.S. may temporarily remove the person in power, but the mindset and way of life will not be changed. Saddam is just one part. It's the same thing in other countries too. The U.S. tried something similar back during the Vietnam conflict. They hand-selected a "puppet" for a president and his unpopularity quickly became evident. The U.S. then lost control. If you play with fire, sooner or later someone's gonna get burn.
