no one else would done anything about it correct? so the US shouldn't even bother because they'd be labeled greedy, and just allow civilians to live in a crazy government under saddam.

It's not about looking greedy, it's about double standards. The US supports governments just as bad as Saddams but the difference is we get along with the south american countries(well until recently) and we don't get along with Iraq.
I'd like to say I'm confident a puppet government that's just as bad but USA friendly won't be put in place, but historical precedents suggest otherwise.
