If we had assassinated Saddam, one of his sons would just have taken over. And after him some other creep. There probably wouldn't be much change for the Iraqis civilians.

Assassination might be useful in a war effort, but if your intention is to help civilians, it takes more work than to just kill whomever it is that torments them for the moment.
