Can anyone out there point me at a suggested solution to the Iraq situation that doesn't involve war?

Oh, by solution I mean something that ends up with democracy in Iraq.

Realistically? Send in a small team to assasinate Hussein, his cabinet, and his staunchest supporters while we clandestinely provide arms, advice and financial support to dissenters against his regime. Of course in about 20 years the new regime will be the enemy, too, if the US is in charge--That's the way we do things, it seems. We cry for the elimination of evil and replace it with our next enemy. Can you say, "Taliban?"

Agree - SAS should have been sent in LAST time.

Also agree - we're unlikely to agree with whoever replaces him either.

I don't think democracy is necessary. I think a ruler, or ruling government, that gives a shit about it's own people and isn't insane and doesn't threaten everyone else is all we should expect.
