Are you completely unable to write anything but trite statements that you know must be untrue. Perhaps you think it is provacative.
you obviously support the former iraqi regime
Obvious to who? your RWE support group? I'm tired of that childish tactic and am on the verge of no longer responding to your posts.

why it would have been best to let it stay in power?
That is not a foregone conclusion, but even if it were likely that Saddam stayed in power, the precidence of having one more petty weak dictator is less dangerous to the world than total anarchy. To premptively strike when not threatened is a pretty good sign of anarchy and it leads to a much more dangerous future than does yet another dictator whoes words exceed his abilities.

why diplomacy would have worked
Diplomacy didn't have to work. Saddam was not the threat he was made out to be. A little verification was in order, as it is with all other countries who have the technology to create largescale mischief.
