"It continues the cycle of violence"
Yes, it does. And we shouldn't add or try to continue the cycle. But like you said, it's a cycle. Cycles go round and back again endlessly, and won't be stopped. Why do you think delay is the answer right now? War will come, regardless of how much we try to avoid it. War really isn't THAT terrible a solution. Assassinating him is easier said than done. Simple as getting a waiter to shoot him while serving him food right? Wrong. Think about it. You don't know Saddam's daily routine, or where he is all the time, if you can actually get somebody in, etc. And if the person fails, then he'll be really pissed, and he'll keep his guard up and blame America. Not as simple as it sounds, and far from as secure as an open war.
When we do nothing, people complain. when we do something, they complain. People will always complain, no matter what you do, or don't do. Look at Afghanistan. All we did was free a country from the Taliban, which treated its citizens like crap, and people complain about how we unjustly invaded them. We aren't, however, by any means, an altruistic country. We do things mostly in our own best interest like other countries do.
But really, if you think war is so horrible, I don't see you people thinking of any good alternative solutions.
