<< The first step would have been to bring Saddam before a world court on charges against humanity. >>

Great idea. How would you get Saddam to the court? What if the world court was corrupt, under the influence of dishonest dictators and controlled by self serving political interests? How could you insure a fair trial?

<< Why wasn't this done a long time ago? >>

A great number of members of the world community are represented by brutal thugs, dictators and incompetent bureaucrats. They don't want to point the "legal" finger at someone else because they are afraid of the finger being pointed back at them.

<< It's easier for a people to overthrow a corrupt leader if they know the whole world is behind them. Agree? >>

How do you get corrupt, brutal dictators to support you? Are you eager to have them on your side? Do you care if a dictator murdered millions of his own people, as long as you can get them behind you?
