Let me put it this way: THE IRAQI PEOPLE REALLY DO NOT LIKE SADDAM. Also, Saddam has killed/will kill more innocent Iraqis than we could ever kill in this war.

First off, they won't be turning into enemies. I am not exactly sure where you are getting this idea from. Secondly, you cannot just assassinate Saddam. You said it yourself, "a million other Saddams will be reborn." But more importantly, Saddam has sons, who are just as or more ruthless than he is and do you really want a younger, more volatile dictactor in charge?

I am not for this war either, but every argument against it seems to be fairly weak. There are several legitimate arguments against it and I cannot recall anyone bringing them to light on this site.
