Anyone in Iraq trying to do what this well-intentioned posting proposes, would end up in prison or worse. Dictators do not tolerate any opposition that threatens their power.

To assume that dialogue with Iraqis is all that is needed, is in my opinion, naive. It's time for western nations to realize that blaming ourselves for all the world's ill isn't realistic, or productive in finding a solution.
Unfortunately, the USA has always had the luxury of waiting for the first major blow--as in Pearl Harbour. With the state of weaponry now, do you have the same luxury of time? Now.
