I dont think we can say that Saddam Hussein eliminated differences, since they were so quick to spring up again after his downfall (and boiled over on various occasions during his reign). We can definitely give him credit for imposing order though, and making it impossible for all these rival agendas to be pursued while his clique owned Iraq.
As for who is to blame, obviously the buck stops with President Bush. There's plenty of blame to go around, but in the end, the American government decided to invade Iraq by choice and unleashed all this
