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.

...and I appreciate for somebody in charge like Bush who takes actions instead of weighing for 20 years "how many devils can dance on the tip of the needle"
as for inaction would work....BULLSHIT,
inaction NEVER work and I dare you go with me tit for tat with historical examples
to prove our points...
how about I give you handicap with 2:1 of my examples of action
for every example of inaction you throw?
Let's see WHO knows the world hoistory better and "causes and effects"
I bet you gonna lose, and I let you name the amount of the bet,
from $1 to $2000, whatever you feel comfortable with.
As for terrorists using Iraq as excuse...when exactly terrorists needed excuses or were having troubles finding excuses for their actions?
remember the begining of WWI with killingof Austrian crown prince in Serbia?
He had excuse....and Austria wasn't in the war
;-))))
as for safety of travel....as a wsterner, you now can travel to LYBIA and enjoy the best preserved roman buildings outside of Italy,
somethign you couldn't do 4 years ago,
there is always a trade
;-))))
