Lets say we did invade Afghanistan but never touched Iraq and Saddam Hussein was still dictator there would the middle east be more peaceful today than what it is right now, would there still be a big mess in Syria?

Most definitely things would be more peaceful. The people there would still be living under tyrannical leaders but they kept the Islamists at bay and also "allowed" Christians to exist. Bush the elder was smart enough to leave Saddam in power. Khaddafi (spelling) would most likely still be in power too and Benghazi would never have happened...after all we were there, I'm certain, to funnel weapons to the "freedom fighters" in Syria, which in all of these places have been nothing but Muslim Brotherhood rebranded as Al Qaeda, ISIS, etc.

explain.
also the turmoil in Iraq really started back after WWI when the allied powers broke up the ottoman empire into small countries they didn't pay attention to ethical borders or religious borders and so on and so forth.
In Iraq you have pretty much one radical leader trying to lead three completely different cultures and groups of people who are not very friendly to each other.
