It was a very local optimum for the Kurds, probably many more have been displaced and killed because of interventions. The ISIS was very harsh on kurds, and ISIS could not have existed without the US invasion.
Saddam was a horror, but in terms of people killed (after the Iran / Iraq war) much worse came after 9/11.
If you go back, it's an infinite fractal of short sightedness and incompetent tampering.

Just wanting to point out that the regime of Saddam wasn't too nice for a lot of people, but yes, I think the intervention was worse for basically everybody.
