I agree with James (Marvin?), but would also add, that, even if SH is removed from the picture, the world may not be better off. It depends on what/who replaces him, as well as what the international consequences of a US invasion are. For instance, if China uses the same rational to take over North Korea or Vietnam, or even Iran, I doubt that the world would be better off. If Thamester's wand could sterilely remove SH alone, with no other people involved, we would be better off. If the price to remove him included a nuke from Iraq over the Saudi oil fields, or even their own, it would certainly put the world in a pickle.
