That would depend on if you could tell the future, wouldn't it? If what replaces him is a fundamentalist Muslim government, then for the US (and for the non-religious ME governments of the region) Saddam is the better choice. The chances of democracy being externally implanted in Iraq by our efforts are close to nil. So would the world be better? Who can say. But I'd say it's not a very bad place for the US right now- although brother Bush has gone a long ways toward making it worse. If he chooses to go ahead with an invasion of Iraq, I'd say that Bush will make the world a worse place. Saddam, horrible as he is to his own people, was never much a a problem for us- until we chose to symbolically make him one. I'd call that our mistake, not his.
