Whoever supported him, the world would in fact be better off today with
Saddam in power. Certainly the poor Iraqis would be better off. It's like
Saddam guarded the gates of hell, and we pushed him out of the way and

one balances Saddam against hell coupled with al Qaeda's empowerment, he
certainly was a vastly lesser evil.
