True

No invasion needed - just have to wait for Saddam to kill enough Iraquis so they get pissed enough to revolt. Unfortunatedly, he did have a tendency to commit genocide if opposed, so it could be kinda bloody and a failure.

If Saddam had shown that sufficient brutality was enough to stay on top, then there may have been other histories to be told from Tunesia, Egypt etc.

Or maybe Saddam was not really as much of a sadist as we thought. Maybe he didn't know that the bio-chemical weapons he used on his people would kill them.
