Are we, the US people, better off because we invade Iraq: NO, just several billion dollars poorer and thousands of lives less.
Is the world a better place because of it?: NO, cause despite a lot of blustering and saber rattling, Saddam would have had his ass handed to him if he would have moved against his neighbors
Are the Iraqi people better off because of the invasion: Probably Not. They've gained certain freedoms and safeties but their country is a mess, the streets aren't safe and chaos is now a way of life.
So, to answer your question, Nope.. doesn't sounds like it was a very good idea.
