And if we tried Saddom like Milsevic, just how would we go about getting him to court? Send him a court order? Ask him nicely? Send in the British SAS and kidnap him? No! We'd go after him militarily, just like we did Milosevic. The Kosovo Action was ultimately what brought him down, not sanctions! He was preceived as weak in his country our allies and us bombed the crap out of him. Otherwise he'd still be there, killing other ethnics in his own country.

Don't get me wrong, but short of going to war, I don't see any other way to get rid of Saddom and dis-arm Iraq. Sanctions haven't worked for 12 years. what makes everyone else think they will work now. Hell, look how long Castro has been able to hang on in Cuba! Now we wait on him to die of old age!
