<You have to distinguish between a terrorist who strikes terror in the US like Osama did and someone like Saddam or any other dictator who is a dictator in his own country. >

OK. Osama has an organization that seeds terrorism in order to promote/implement his version of Islam over all other religions or forms of government at any cost.

Saddam did the same...... exterminating all opposition within his reach into prisons or mass graves.... paying the families of homicide bombers that blew themselves up in Israel... collecting billions of $$'s from the UN via the oil for food program while ignoring 10 years of sanctions and no fly zones.

No doubt the dictator in N. Korea is all you say and more, however, I do not see where the diplomatic route has reached the same block wall that Saddam's had.

Having made that distinction, how would you have handled Saddams total disregard for the UN sanctions/no fly zones and the world communities determination that he had WMD ?
