You offer the example of an accused rapist for comparison to the situation with Saddam H. and that he should be considered innocent until proven guilty

I know he is guilty and so do you and so does everyone else. It is not that he might be innocent, but that we should be advocating the CORRECT and LEGAL way to go about putting him to justice, also taking care not to burn the innocents in the quest to get the bad guy.

And so I think the best strategy is to use a big stick for now and hope Saddam H. retires to Lybia with immunity

That would actually be the worst possible outcome for Bush. Saddam still alive and in exile, and no more excuse to invade Iraq. Bye bye the second largest and most profitable oil fields in the world. Cut your losses, take your soldiers back home, face the looming economic crisis, with the additional cost of the last few months of escalated military tension. Ouch.
