Instead of his son doing it in 2003, how would the world change if Saadam Hussein was overthrown in 1991? Would Bush Sr. handle the war more competently? how would the world be different if he had done so?

Bush probably narrowly wins re election as Foreign Policy would be the dominant issue. Iraq in 1992 would likely resemble Iraq of 2004 in a sense that the situation is going sour, but not sour enough to damage Bush, there would be enough of a "let's not change horses midstream" mentality among enough people for Bush to narrowly hold on. That said, Iraq would likely see similar (though likely not as bad with a steadier hand at the helm) chaos through the mid 90s like it did from 2005-2007 OTL, and thus I think the Democrats would ride this to victory in 1994 and 1996.
There was a recession in 92 and going past 12 years of republicans rule would be quite difficult to hold on. the 2004 scenario doesnt apply to 92 as there was no 9/11 to keep people continuing to support the war to fight terrorism or just become more conservative overall
