I read an interview where Saddam was saying he did what he did for the public good, for the welfare of his country. In a way he might have. Maybe the only way to run an arab country is by violence and fear. Saddam certainly kept people in line.

You may be completely correct on this one, but I would not generalize "Arab Country"
The people have lived under dictatorship and strict religous doctrin for so long it may very well take decades for them to be a "democracy".
It also does not help that a large number of the people have been taught from birth that America is "The Great Satan"
I think there are 2 choices to the mess
Leave it alone and get the hell out of there OR
Start eliminating entire cities of people (which make us the same as what we "liberated" them from.
