MANY people are scratching their heads, wondering how Saddam Hussein can be removed.

Some ask why he wasn't got rid of at the time of the first war between the UN and Iraq. We are told that this wasn't on the agenda.

Of course, it wouldn't be on the agenda as none of the Western powers wishes to be rid of him.

This particularly is the case of America and Britain, as he has both before and since that war, been worth a fortune - many fortunes, in fact - from the war supplies we have sold him.
