If Bush had not taken action in March 2003, Saddam Hussein would still be in power and several hundred Americans would not have lost their lives in Iraq. Some Iraqis are dead who might otherwise be alive...but if Saddam were still in power, probably a much larger number of Iraqis who are alive now would be dead, and the Democrat who would take over in January 2005 might be facing a Saddam with nukes.
Your post was confusing enough, and then I read that -- the kicker, if you will.
Why are YOU here on FR?
It would be interesting to see what would happen if the LP nominated this guy for a third time in 2004. If the Dems nominated a candidate like Edwards or Lieberman, Browne would probably take more votes from the RATs than he would from Bush (assuming Browne kept up this rhetoric and focused on the war issue)
Sadly though, I think Gary Nolan will be the LP nominee for 2004. The next Presidential election cycle is projected to be an "up" year for the Libertarians (Browne did lousy in 2000 so anyone else they nominate would likely improve on his showing)
