Shock is the only way to severly cripple their efforts, if not eradicate them. I am open to suggestions though .....
I stole this from the "Aopologies" thread (I hope you don't mind Night Stalker) because I thought I was leading another thread off topic.

My question, as stated in the thread title, is a good question. And I'm looking for ideas.

I believe Saddam is a problem and it needs to be addressed. But I think the bigger issue is the weapons he is accused of possessing. A war will not necessarily remove these "weapons" if they can not be found. So how do we disarm Iraq?

I continue to believe that the UN should take Iraq away from Saddam, forcibly, and do a total search and destroy mission of these weapons. If Saddam is guilty of crimes against humanity he should be tried in a World Court.

I know this is highly unlikely and probably purely unfeasable. But I did not say that the suggestions in this thread have to be easy or even possible.

Just looking for ideas.
