Do you actually believe that the US government wants to remove him from power because the population of Iraq is suffering (BTW I don't think they are suffering that much) or because Iraq is a threat to the US? Do you really think that?

What pisses me off is that the US is saying all kind of crap just to make a good impression on people, and in the end it's all about the oil.

Ranzid, I'm not pro-mega-american, but even I can see the sense in getting rid of this lunatic (Saddam). Do you really think that this nut building up deadly weapons is a safe thing for the world? If Saddam had nukes at his disposal, I truly believe he would not hesitate to use them on the US or any other of his percieved enemies. What makes you think he wouldn't? Wouldn't you call that a direct threat? The oil thing has been blown out of proportion, I think. Iraq is involved in only 5% of the worlds oil exports, nothing that impressive, and we are not on terms with then now. It seems you are more angry that there might be SOMETHING beneficial in it for the US. Otherwise, it's just politics as usual
