The march to war in Iraq: Human rights or weapons of mass destruction?
By Chibli Mallat

Most of us vividly recall the march to the war in Iraq. Many marched against the war, as I did in Brussels in February 2003. Yet I actively supported the removal of Saddam Hussein from power. Hence the basic dilemma. How could you end the dictatorship (my preferred term for "regime change") without large-scale violence? How could you end Saddam Hussein's four-decade rule without occupying Baghdad?
