Resign? I think that's the height of intransigence frankly.

Intransigence?! Oh yeah? Hold on a second.....

intransigent

adjective FORMAL

refusing to be persuaded, especially refusing to change opinions that are strongly believed in

Hmmm, so when you say There was never a chance for a peaceful resolution. and I reply that his resignation would have produced a peaceful resolution, what exactly does it mean that his resignation is the "height of refusing to be persuaded"?

As I've said, simple sentences please. Lets try again:

Saddam could have produced a peaceful resolution to the 1990's conflict by resigning - what's your reply?

How do you overlook the fact that he did not have ANY of these WMDs, which were the subject of war and the sanctions for 12 years which were the cause of thousands of Iraqi lives lost? If I was an Iraqi I would be pretty angry at this point.

I didn't overlook that fact. My point was that it was Saddam's leadership that brought the turmoil to Iraq. The countries of Denmark, New Zealand and Costa Rica didn't get attacked, Iraq did. Saddam bears a huge responsibility for that, and Saddam had the power to avoid it if his interest was what's best for the Iraqi people, rather than what's best for himself.
