On behalf of the Iraqi citizens I thank you for not being the one to make the decisions! Hundreds of thousands of Iraqi's have been saved from being slaughtered and starved because people don't think like you. Meanwhile, organizations are putting billions of dollars in aid together for the countries who aren't in imminent danger from their very own leader.
I'll let the Iraqi citizens speak for themselves, though I doubt we'll every let them express such feelings at the polls because we won't like what they think of our "life-saving" efforts.
If, hypothetically speaking, it were possible to save hundreds of thousands of Iraqis or tens of millions of Africans with the same amount of money, I know which one I'd choose. Not that we needed to spend the resources we did to help stem the effects of sanctions. We imposed sanctions that did nothing to weaken Saddam, and may well have strenghtened him. This wasn't even Bush Jr.'s fault.
