How many think the execution of Saddam Hussein and American occupation of Iraq makes the world better?

The invasion of Iraq was said to be retalliation against Saddam and his role in 9/11. It since established he had no part. Most of the 9/11 terrorists came from Saudi Arabia and Yemen. Yet we did not invade there or try and execute King Fahd. I have heard that since the First Iraq War, almost 2 million Iraqis have died from war, civil war, starvation, lack of medical care. Cost to the US has esceeded 500 Billion dollars. We could have a nice national health care system for a fraction of that. Nearly 4,000 Americans killed, 28,000 wounded and more than 160,000 have applied for VA pensions for disabilities. And instead of Democracy, the result is that we are empowering a fundamentalist type of Islam like exists in Iran. I still rellish the picture of Rumsfield kissing Saddam in 1989 when he was our ally against Iran.
