Iraq is a Safer Place Without Saddam?!!

I am not "ignoring" Iraqi nationalism, I am discounting it when compared to the people's allegiance to sect. The hatred that sunnis have for shiites - and vice versa - is far greater than the love they might have for the ethereal concept of Iraq as a country.
at this point in time, yes.

But before we invaded there was an Iraqi Army, and it did have all sects - might have been held together by force - but it did exist

I do agree the country is ripe for sectarin rifts, but if we hadn't deposed Saddam, it might have survived.
