Yeah, there's a clear precedent for America dropping puppets in, and that's exactly what I'm NOT in favor of. A majority of the people in Iraq don't want Saddam in power, they just don't have the means to uproot him. The idea is to give them the means, but to let them decide who else gets into power (provided they're not building and hiding weapons.)
