This assumes, as so many here have, that full-scale war along the route that was taken and the status quo were the only two available options. This is simply not the case.

Every single one of the options short of war necessarily required that Saddam stay in power. None of the short-of-war options include his removal; it had to be done by force fo arms. The problems with allowing Saddam to remain in power are the following:

1.- A continuing human rights disaster;

2.- Saddam's potential support of terror;

3.- Saddam's purchase of a nuke or fissile material in the black market, another intolerable disaster;

4.- Given his established record of risky adventurism, any number of things that would threaten ME stability.
