Sam--That had been posted before and I found it fascinating. However, given that I didn't disagree with anything stated, the questions remain: Should Saddam be charged with crimes against humanity?; and: Should Saddam comply with both agreements he made and with theUN resolution for inspections? We probably all agree with the answers, but the difficult question is how can we get compliance? If anyone can suggest an effective alternative to force. I'm for it! fred

Thanks for posting that. I hadn't seen it before. But the actual act of removing him after that would not be very difficult. He does not have a popular base. He lives there by virtue of the Iraqi people's fear. Once that fear is removed, the Iraqi people will move against him, as they have in the past moved against other dictators successfully, even ones who were very, very closely protected by their followers. This is something I think will prove to be true in the near future.
