I cannot comment about Gaddafi; I don't know enough about him or his government to comment.
With Saddam.... Frankly, he wasn't fully in control of Iraq, and the population centers he was in control of he was rather brutal. He started a war with Iraq (although you can argue the US encouraged this), invaded Kuwait, and then shot at our planes enforcing the no fly zones. I think Saddam needed to go.
However, I also think Middle Eastern problems are Middle Eastern problems and we need to stop interfering. Problems in the Middle East need to be handled by other countries in the Middle East. We should only step in when it directly affects the West.
