When you know the facts if only he died then a succesor (not by blood) would take his place... or a big civil war will start.
Now you think about that

Ok, thought about it and I stand by my statement. Here's why.
His statement was an attempt to use logic to prove a point. He was using the number of groups involved to prove said point. I merely pointed out that the size of those groups is also important.
My statement about own happiness was not trying to prove anything. It was a statment of emotion that has nothing to do with logic. Logically, the problem would not be eliminated by the simple killing of Saddam and stopping there (and this actually may be flawed, since it is always possible that the US could control the region without anyone else dying. But given the improbability of that scenario, we'll ignore it for this discussion). But emotionally, which is what I was speaking of, I would be happy if his was the only death. My statement of my feelings was not meant to be taken as an attempt at logic, I'm sorry if it was taken incorrectly.
