Another reason that the war with Iraq was a bad idea from the get-go is that when we disabled Iraq, we strengthen Iran's capability by taking away Iran's largest foe in the area, Iraq.

Again, bullsh!t! 
Read some history, bro...after the so-called Muslim Bomb was developed in Pakistan, and offered up to anyone/everyone (including North Korea, BTW), Iran started developing their own "alternative energy source" to counter Iraq's use of gas and development of other "stuff." The "balance" you warmly embrace now would have most certainly led to faster development of WMD's by both countries...or did the Cold War teach you nuthin? 
I will never understand anyone saying we should have left the despot in power in order to keep a balance. Same thoughts Kennedy (the old prick) had in thinking Hitler was a good stabilizing effect on Europe.
