This is an interview with Dr. David Swann, he opposes the war but also agrees that Saddam is a terrible dictator. He also still feels the war could be about oil although we have been told it isn't.

His idea for an alternative.

So if we don't impose sanctions or threaten military force, how do we deal with him?

There are alternatives. It's been shown that he can be contained, though at a high price to his people. Sanctions should continue on military weapons, but be lifted on the staples of life. Let the country get back on its feet, let the people return to their jobs, let them rebuild their health care and education infrastructure. Let's provide some support for a civil society there and hope they can emerge with some alternatives to the way Saddam is governing the country.
