I do know that Iran would not be trying to develop nukes if the Iraqi army was still next door.

Democratic countries generally don't produce terrorism. Make Iraq democratic, and it stabilizes the Mideast. That's the theory. However, it doesn't happen overnight.
GWB said Saddam had terrorist ties.
Saddam himself was a terrorist. He ruled his own country with fear, intimidation, and outright brutality. He used chemical weapons against civilians in Halabja in 1988.
An Iraqi general, Georges Sada, said that WMD were shipped to Syria.
