Guys, There are ways and then there are ways. You just can't go in and remove him without declaring war on Iraq. That's another country, a sovereign nation. So....how are you going to do this? Use economics and pinch them so hard, the people remove him? HA! The sanctions hurt the people and apparently didn't work again the government. Sure.....he's an idiot, but history's shown us that sooner or later, economics and the passage of time (like...he dies) might heal the issues . As long as he is fairly contained, he's somewhat managable. A pain, but manageable. One wrong step, though... Could we remove Kadaffi, or Idi Amin? Look what it took to remove Hitler. Dictators abound, and we can't be the super-cop of the world unless WE are directly threatened. We'd always be at war. Where's Steven Segal when we need him?
