The only legitimate overthrow of a government occurs from within, by the people. Outside assistance is warranted as long as it isn't hypocritical and selfish. This could have been done after the first Gulf War. It wasn't, why? Because a bottom-up reformation cannot be controlled. However, a top-down change can indeed be controlled and that is what has happened.
I'm not defending Sadaam; get that out of your head. I'm arguing against the way his removal was done. It's not legitimate and it doesn't reflect the needs and wants of the people.
