My point is that you, living in a free country, don't seem to understand how it is to live under a ruthless dictator killing people at will. You care for a few hundred civilians being killed or wounded while millions craving for freedom and life in a larger prison called Iraq, North Korea, etc. are denied the freedom of speech that you have now. That's why you should live in a ruthless dictatorship to get an insight of the hell these people live in.
It takes some casualties to liberate a country, nobody wants to injury civilians, but this happens.
It's a military concept that you can consider a number of casualties if you spare the life of more people.
What is Saddam's threat to the world, you ask?
First, any dictator is a threat to his own nation.
Second, Saddam was a threat to its neighbors. He had two local wars, increased military power, and if you say that a lunatic like him can be allowed to affect other people's lives, then ... what else can I say?
Btw, there were Kuwaiti POWs from the first Gulf War liberated on this occasion. And you forget the thousands of people he killed during his rule, or after the uprising of Shiia Iraqi citizens in the south in 1991 (denied freedom of speech that you have for granted), or that he could have killed in the future.
If you insist that it was better to let Saddam rule 26 or so million Iraqis for the price of several hundreds casualties, I have nothing more to add, I rest my case.

We what about the 1000's Bush had killed underneath his current run?
9-11 he help carry out.
In fact 400 families have a class action law suit against him and five other senior branch members for not only knowing but carrying it out!
