Aside from Saddam breaking 17 UN resolutions and trying desparately to flex to the world his WMD programs, I found this article which makes 3 good points...
What do you think?

This is a paragraph that I feel answers the question the best...
There can be no doubt that Saddam's Iraq was, with Iran and Saudi Arabia, the most important Middle East government providing political support for terrorism. Irrespective of whether Saddam's regime had meaningful links to al-Qaeda or the 9/11 attackers, there is no argument that Saddam harbored the likes of Abu Nidal, funded Palestinian suicide bombers, and helped train and support other international terrorists. The exact extent of this activity is unknown, but clearly it's no longer happening, and this must count as a success in the war on terrorism.
Remember, this is a "War on Terror"... not a war on soley Bin Laden.
