In my opinion, I'm glad Sadaam is out of power. However it was foolish for anyone to think that by removing Sadaam it would resolve issues of terrorism. I've noticed that the terrorist in Iraq operate either independently or under the leadership of America's new most wanted man. The same thing goes for Osama. Removing him won't remove the problem but will only allow some new person to come into the scene and continue his work.
Terrorism is deeply rooted in the mindset, whether the US caused it or not, which they didn't. This kind of terrorism has always existed. The idea that its our way or no way is the mentality that Iraqi terrorists have. They kill because they believe they are pleasing their God and doing their people a service.
No, the world is not safer by any means, but it certainly more aware of what people who live under terrorism must deal with. If you can give Bush credit for anything its for making us less naive about our world. I know a couple of people who had know idea about the Jihad (Sorry if i spelt it wrong) or what fundamentalist muslims believe about Christianity, Jews or western society in general. Bascially what I'm saying is that the world, although its not safe its more aware, and that saying something.
