As long as the "shadowed goal" will be to get a good grasp at the 2nd largest oil reserve in the world, France , China and Russia will be against any military action in Iraq.
Iraq, even having a dictatorship doesnt invalidade some rights as an UN member and an official country . No proven connections to terrorism, and poorly backed evidence of WMD throws most of the US rethoric out the window, innocent until proven guilty is one of the pillars of your judiciary system... or is it until it's annoying?.
He needs to disarm ... what? Sticks and stones probably.
The US is going , because it suits their economy. Doing so at a cost of another country is criminal by any standards. Its not about saddam, the people or how he treats them, its about money.

I agree, it will be the harder part. But why? :
Simple , they have a different culture and
mentality and needs for a government. The "we know best, they need a democracy" is a poor excuse, and forcing a type of government on a people who dont want it, need it or asked for it will only go one way, the bad one. Why is that every country in the world has to be a democracy by the US standards? . Dont be so bold to assume that change is required, and by imposing a democracy. By their standards, they prefer a strong and iraqian leader over a western democracy , an iraqian democracy that will be the next dog in the US kennel.
If they want change , a regime change, that must come from the inside, and nothing less. So , like i said before, if they're fed up with their government, have a revolution. Those are choises they have to make, not we for them.
The US has made a crusade out of promoting "democracy" in the world. And when it cant be imposed by pressure or bought, then enter covert ops.
