"what we have at the moment. The option that we chose has been less than successful and that just wasn't an option.
It would seem that the assassination of SH would have either led to civil war or the succession of one of his idiot sons."
Well SH it would have died at some point.
If we want to play time traveler, I think Clinton's 1998 bombing of Iraq was a mistake. And obviously the diplomacy led to the UN inspectors being ejected from Iraq which made the 98 bombing "necessary" also a example a series of blunders.
The pin prick 1998 bombing should not have even been a option. The only bombing option should been a massive carpet bombing and since that was not political possible some other course should have been taken. And as we now know the Food for Oil UN program was an utter and complete failure. The real problem underlying this was the Clinton administration did not have a good working relations with Europe. The Europeans had made sanctions against Iraq a farce. We should have stopped all oil export from Iraq- that would make SH it pay attention.
