If that is what the people of Iraq desire, yes.

If saddam is removed by force and not election or succession it will _not_ encourage stability and you will see more backlash than ever before coming from the region.

If anything, the new resolutions should prompt for presidential elections in Iraq (say, in 2 years time) to let the people of Iraq decide who should lead.

Right now I think Iraq would just be happy to get their country back to the state it was in before America stared fucking them over.

The trouble all started when Kuwait began stealing Iraq's oil (America comes in, bad Iraq, *spank* let Kuwait steal oil, they sell it to us cheap! ) naughty Iraq.

Now they see Iraq wont bend to American will and saddam has been demonised.

I'm assuming you know that the US put saddam in power, helped him gain chemical agents and encouraged him to use them against Iran.
