RE: "...how do we get Saddam out without force." WE, we, we! You have some pretty big presumptions. Crimes against humanity are unacceptable to all nations that have signed the UN Charter. Most nations are not willing to attack another nation. It is difficult to establish Crimes against humanity even though, by some criteria, they are happening constantly. We don't get Saddam out without force. We didn't get rid of very many leaders and governments on a par with Saddam. I would have accepted a declaration of war by the US Congress based on crimes against humanity. That didn't occur. That isssue wasn't presented to Congress. Bush exploited the fear caused by 9/11, created a bogus threat in Saddam, and led us to war because some of his government's oficials have wanted to attack Iraq for many years. I don't really blame Bush. I accept a diminished capacity defense for him. It is very likely that Bush believes that Saddam was a threat to national security. I think that if Ted Baxter were President, he would believe it, too.
