Saddam is a really, really bad actor -

Now the way Bush Jr ought to handle this is simply to point out to everyone that Saddam tried to assasinate his dad - No need for all the other justifications, which are all very true - the Moslem leaders will understand this -

forget about war with Iraq - no point in killing innocent Iraqis - just present his case, and ask the Congress to able to target Saddam specifically -

then drop enough precision weapons that Saddam either leaves or is killed -

the problem is that with Saddam gone there would be no interruption in the Islamic world - arms and technologies would trade freely - so the Israeli/Palestinian conflict has to be firmly on its way to a final resolution before Bush Jr can do this -
