The reasons why Saddam was not overthrown were strictly political
- Iraq could brake into three or more parts

- in nothern part - Kurds - they fight against Iraq with support of Iran, against Turkey with help of Iraq - independent Kurdistan would be a threat for Turkey - our ally
No one think of Kurds, human rights organization and similar s**t, where are you? - all USA, UN care about themselves only
-in southern part of Iraq live people who are supported by Iran (the same religion, sunnits and shijits (however you write it), they hate each other more than christians), that part would be incorporated by Iran! - Iran - enemy no1 of USA in Middle East.
In result - rest of Iraq would be insignificant, Iran would be more powerful and would not have enemy - Iraq - at all, Kurds would threaten Turkey and provoke them to try to enter Kurdistan - new war.
But lets keep old Saddam, lets keep status-quo.
I love politics.
