Oh c'mon. No one wants to get rid of Saddam. The West is better off
maintaining the chaos in that region. Doesn't matter what we do,
we'll get blamed for their ills anyway. No point in alienating them
further by overtly overthrowing Saddam then having to clean up the
mess. I think we have our hands full with Afghanistan. Arab
despots don't want any successful example of democracy within earshot
either. If we really wanted to take him out, we'd have zapped him
with a laser beam from outer space long ago. The region won't be any
good to us in a generation when they run out of oil.

proposed creating a new capitol city under the southern "no-fly"
zone. Saddam would not be able to attack it. The Iraqi citizens
would flock to it because it would thrive in trade. It could choke
off oil money going to the north. It could also serve as a base for
covert ops. Seemed like an interesting idea.
