Serge, good question, but like many things in life, there is many different answers between "go to war and take ove the whole country and get a bunch of american kids killed doing it" and "ignore him completely".
There are many other things that could have been done, there were many other actions that might have worked better or worse, and there was a level of inaction that might have worked as well.
I am not certain at this point that the world is a safer place than it was when Saddam was in power. The terrorists and extremists seem to use the US action as a reason for more extreme actions, and that has made the world much less safer in my eyes.
As a westerner, I can see that there are many more places I would never travel to now than there was 4 years ago. That is a sign of less security in the world.
