it would send the region spiraling, and this is good for the US and Israel.

how so?

counter argument would be something like: iraq is mostly controlled by iran now and used to smuggle weapons to militia groups across the region: egypt, libya, lebanon, yemen, syria

the one caveat is Assad/syria in which the US arguably is better positioned now than it was 2003
