Why would that be a wasted effort? As long at that strongman will toe the line with us, why would it be bad? Saddam was a good strongman until he decided he didn't need to heed what we were saying and do things that were against our interests.
I'm sure they will be even more delighted if we packed up and go without leaving somebody there that will handle things the way we need things done.
