(3) Fund, train, and otherwise support Kurdish and/or Shiite groups that wish Saddam gone, so that Iraqis do their own regime change - Result: No American troop deployment, no carpet-bombing and little if any infrastructure destruction in Iraq, international cooperation stays intact, Powell doesn't look like a monkey in UN Sec. Council with aerial photos of vans claiming they are mobile bioterror labs, Bush holds on to the respect and cooperation of the world for American leadership of the free world. (4) Try the carrot approach rather than the stick - Find what Saddam wants (such as, partial lifting of the sanctions, possibly medications and sanitary chemicals like chlorine), and offer that in exchange for reinstatement of permanent UN inspectors. All this, of course, assuming that the invasion of Iraq had anything to do with the paranoia that Iraq was an aggressive threat to anyone. And this is the stuff little old me came up with in five minutes. The brains in the White House no doubt could come up with far more brilliant strategies in the many months it took to position US troops for the invasion of Iraq, during which they escalated the war rhetoric every day.
