If, in 20 years, Iraq is an ally and a peaceful, thriving democracy like South Korea, it'll be due to much, much more than Bush's decision to invade, especially considering that the hurdles that South Korea faced are nothing like those that Iraq faces.
In fact if, in 20 years, Iraq is an ally and a peacful, thriving democracy like South Korea, I'd imagine the largest contributing factor will be a considerably different power structure in the Middle East unrelated to the U.S. invasion and deposition of Hussein. And honestly, I don't see that happening. Well, I don't see that happening in the next 20 years, that is.
