They have 15 billion dollars to spend thanks to your evil imperialistic leader, lets see if we can save all of Africa now (we can't/won't, I'll bet we don't even begin to make a dent in the problem that is Africa).
Now that Saddam is out of power, he won't be slaughtering his people, invading other countries, nuking Israel, and selling nukes to terrorists that he likely harbors, furthermore, we'll have a base in the middle east to secure oil pipelines, and help bring peace to the entire region itself. Then lets see how many people we save in Africa by giving them money to misuse, against the amount of people that would have died if we had not acted.
