The reasoning is, altho not reasoning that I necessarily agree with (I'm still mulling it over), that it's not that having Sadaam in power makes the world more safe, it's that his removal and all of the new terorists and hatred for the U.S. that his removal has caused has made the world less safe.

There is, I think, a certain defiensible logic to that.

I think these terrorists were always there, we just chased them out of their holes.

Right. Altruism is the corner stone of foreign policies. Generally countries offer help for the sake of universal brotherhood and welfare of mankind. That makes the most sense. Definitely.

You can't deny that the invasion of Iraqi has bred more terrorsits, can you?

Simple logic tells me that it must have.

And how about the increased hatred in the world for the U.S.?

I don't think that you cn deny that, either.
