What would have been done to stop the genicides, political murders, and countless international laws he broke, not to mention being a threat in the middle east? What were the other solutions?

That is a good question. I'm just waiting to see what some of
these Halo Heads answers are. President Bush has been
bashed and battered, when he should be praised for what he
did What a lot of people don't realize is Saddam had his hands
in the making of 9-11 attack and a lot of it is revenge from being
forced out of Kuwait

I am really surprised that people are saying the UN was the answer here. 12 years and 17 failed resolutions later, Saddam was STILL flipping them the bird.
And I love the post that said the genocide is Iraq's problem. Genocide should be EVERYONES problem. Bet if it was YOUR race/religion/whatever being targeted, you'd be hoping for some intervention from somewhere. Was genocide "just" Germany's problem?

I would have continued trying to keep Iraq isolated, with the existing UN sanctions. So what if Saddam was causing problems for Iraqis? That was an internal Iraq problem. The US had pretty much kept Saddam from doing too much in the Kurdish North and, to some degree, in the Shi'ite South. We could have left Iraq bottled up until after Saddam's kids died after taking their turn at causing mayhem there.

The UN is completely worthless.
Their inspectors got kicked out of Iraq and they didn't have the balls to do anything about it.
Same with North Korea.

I didn't agree with the Iraq war, not because stopping Saddam wasn't a noble goal, but because we had an even bigger fish to fry..Osama Bin Laden. Notice he is still at large, seeing as how the administration let him go to focus on Saddam.

I don't agree with the war for the simple reason that we captured Saddam and Osama is still on the run! We should have taken care of Saddam in Desert Storm.

saddam could easily have been taken out with snipers.its not like he was keeping a low profile.there are dictators all over the the world along with human rights violations,china comes to mind,but we dont invade them and try to install democracy.we could learn from hamas be there with aid instead of guns and bombs to win the hearts of the people.
