"Name one good thing it has done for us to have him gone -- and I mean for US, not for freedom or democracy or the Iraqi people or any of that BS."
I'm glad Saddam Hussein is gone. But his being gone really hasn't made America safer. It's still nice that he is going to hang.
But the people who have responded to this haven't really answered, they just attacked you.
Kadafy give up his Nuke program ?????????????
The good in having him gone is that in 2002 he was THIS close to slipping the noose of the sanctions. If the inspectors had given him a clean bull of health, then he would have been home free. Within a year the oil would have been flowing freely and he could have done what the rest of these guys have done, which is to go to the jot-'em-down store and ordered up a fresh supply of materials for his weapons. The guy who ran his atomic program said that give material, they would have been up and running within a year. By now, they would have been more or less in the same place as the Iranians. Not good to have Israel, Iraq, and Iran, each with atomic weapons.

Freedom? BS?
100 years ago the answer would be nothing. Today however the world is a much smaller interconnected place. Having someone like Saddam in power is a threat to everyone.
