George, The UN only allowed George Bush and the Coalition Forces to remove Saddam from Kuwait. We were not authorized to "take him out" as the looney liberals often like to say with their 20-20 hindsight. That is why Saddam lives. I can guarantee you that if we had the authority to blow him away with any means possible, we would have done that.
