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

My reply is that's intransigence. It is not the right of the US to demand that the leader of another country step down....even one as distasteful as Saddam. The world would (and did not) stand for that for very good reasons.

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.

I understand...but that's a pretty sweeping generalization and a long way from an invasion, particularly when the premise provided for that invasion has been bogus for as many years as we've been punishing his people for it.
