Saddam is not co-operating, so he's in contravention of resolution 1441

Then I am sure the UN Security Council who declared that very resolution will find the appropriate answer to his breach.

Hey, I hear he's planting bombs around his oil facilities

Really? Who did you "hear" that from? His personal assistant? :-)

I don't want to risk anyones life. Saddam can retire with immunity in Lybia and so save his peoples lives.

And if not, you WOULD risk thousands of Iraqi civilians' lives? As in, I don't want to kill this baby but if that bad guy continues to stand next to the poor thing I have nothing against killing him in order to get to the bad guy?

In fact, what I've seen of them on TV, they appear to be the most Western of all the Arab peoples. Women walking around with their faces exposed and skirts that are above the ankle. I bet they secretly long to be liberated.

That is probably because Iraq is NOT an Islamist country, and there are no such rules of hiding away the women, rather than them longing to be liberated.

Why are you defending a despotic regime?

Awww, please. Prove it. Prove that I am defending the regime of Iraq.

A suspected murderer is caught and the mob wants to lynch him, and this family. If I ask for the guy to be tried (rather than lynched on the spot) and that no harm come to his family, would you really ask "Why are you defending a rapist?" ???

(Maybe you would. I hope you wouldn't.)
