Thanking the United States for this is like thanking your rapist because he finally had enough and let you get up.
The United States is fast friends with fiends all over the developing world. Actually a terrible precedent has been set...people were glad the Nazis were cleaning up the streets...until they came to get them too.
It took a brutal thug like Saddam to keep the fundamentalist Muslims in check. The United States will now give them "democracy" and free spech...so they can rile each other and cast gasoline on their religious boils. How can the Christians in Iraq be safe...when it is a Christian country that did this awful thing to them. How safe did Muslims feel in America after 9/11.
America, like Britain before it, uses people like Saddam...so they can have someone to point the finger at when the brutality they encourage and fund and supply gets ugly.
Surely you don't have to love Saddam to dislike the way in which they got rid of him....they weren't even gunning for him for the last 13 years and more...they were killing Iraq's children and blighting the next two generations...you can torment people so much they will "thank you" when you ease up.
It was the most shameful display of brute power America has yet indulged in...and their chickens will come home to roost...look for many more Americans to solve their problems with bullets.
Civilization in general took a hit. We can understand Iraq under a Saddam acting as they did...but the land of Lincoln........how do you square that with where we started from.
