It would probablly benefit the Iraqi people a great deal. Personally I would
have expected the United Nations to get rid of Sadam 2 years ago when he had
about 12,000 Kurds (an ethnic miniority in Iraq) murdered in gas chambers.

Nations leading the charge. Personally I think anything, how ever misguided,
is better than waiting to see what happens.
