Saddam is in a corner and he will lash out like a cornered rat. His military is probably not wanting to be annihilated so they are wanting to defect or have a coup.

None of this would have happened, no inspections or revelation of any missiles and other proscribed weapons, would have occurred if it were not for the US, headed by George Bush, acting like a "bully" or a strong leader with a sense of conviction had not push the UN to do it's job and parked 200,000 troops with the most modern weapons available on his doorstep.
These protestors did not have to lift a finger. If we would all stand together all the people in all nations and say "we want Saddam Hussein out of power", this guy would be history. It would set a good example for the likes of UBL and NK.
