Offer 500,0000,000 US$ dead or alive. Would be cheaper than this potential war. That's 500,000,000 examples.

And a creative one that would be all too appropriate. Place a bounty upon what is, essentially, an international criminal..

How about Kim Jong Il also?? US$20 Billion bounty to be split up by those who overthrow him??

But unfortunately, it's just not how "civilized" countries are supposed to go about doing business... Because then we could see the "bad guys" putting contracts out on Western leaders.

But a different alternative would be to offer $1,000 cash to every citizen of a country like North Korea or Iraq to support the overthrow of their own government...

Far cheaper than sending US troops over to the region or to place them in harm's way..

The only downside would be that you might find some people intentially permitting their government to be seized by fanatical tyrants... so that they can get some money out of the US for overthrowing them again...

Could turn into quite a business opportunity... :0)
