No, that's not only not true, but in fact Hussein took numerous actions against those in Al Qaeda. You're spouting Bush'ist dogma, which is garbage.
More Bush'ist gibbberish.

Saddam had the ego of a megolomaniac.

So what, even if that's true, that's of no concern to any American. The majority of Iraqi's wanted Hussein and the Ba'athists in power, who are you to force them to have otherwise. Hmmm? Oh, yes, ask the Turks about how much they want an autonomous Kurdistan just south of their border. That's why they wanted Hussein to remain in power, he partially curbed Kurdish nationalism. The Kurds want that portion of Kurdistan with Turkish borders, and that within Iranian borders too; you willing to sacrifice American lives to help them? When will you be going?

The UN was giving Saddam aid-and-comfort and making him a rich man...Shake well and pour.

Again, that's meaningless gibberish, the mewlings of a childish, as opposed to the innocent childlike, person.
Saddam governed about 2/3's of Iraq, never more than that, as you'll learn from any honest soldier, no one ever completely controlled Iraq in that countries entire history.
What was between the UN and Iraq is, again, not the business of America and Americans. Iraq couldn't attack and defeat a country run by clerics right next door, the idea that Iraq was or could have posed a threat to America is too silly to discuss.
