All well and good powerclown. But that's got nothing to do with whether the US is safer or unsafer. I believe it is the latter. Sob and others took umbrage at that opinion (for some reason) and so began the petty argument.
I agree that, if we take the list you posted, at face value, then Iraq is in some ways "better off". But in many many other ways, it's a lot worse off.
I hazard a guess that if you asked the average Baghdad resident if they preferred their life today to that when Hussein was in power, that they will choose the latter. Not for any love of Hussein, but simply for a love of safety, stability and state integrity.
