Political and military meddling may sometimes become inevitable, but we rarely know the true consequences in hindsight. A nation that enjoys a fine standard of living, such as the western European countries, really has few reasons to go to war with another unless it's own security is under threat (hence the lies about Saddams WMD's). It will take many years for Iraqi's to regain the standard of living they had under Saddam, before the UN sanctions, and it is still uncertain if it will remain together as a nation.
