Good post GF. This was debated a lot in another thread a while ago too. Depending on the estimates, Saddam is anywhere from 6th to 4th (behind Mao, Stalin, and Hitler) on the list of most deadly dicatators in history. Many people chose to gloss that over as they didn't approve of the war. Kind of shocking. In a different thread it was argued that we are right in taking down Qadaffi, but that we should have left Saddam alone. The logic escapes me. Qadaffi is not even a 10th of the monster Saddam was. Obviously opinions colored purely by politics and not by any real logic.
To me the biggest issue is how Saddam was taken out, and how long it has taken to turn things back over to the Iraqis, not the fact that he was ousted to begin with.
