Did the Iraq war save lives?

Saddam's crimes against humanity are lost on the liberals. They just focus on WMD's - of course, I would love to hear their suggestion about what a President should do when his intelligence ures him that a mad dictator who harbors terrorists has nuclear weapons. All real Americans are proud of the courage and strength our troops showed in the overthrow of the Hussein regime and the start of a new era of democracy for the Iraqi people.
