many people are trying to kill him all the time. The Mossad has been after him for years among others.
i think that apart from the issues of international law, no one has managed to get close enough to do it to him.
he has countless doubles
he never sleeps in the same place twice
he does not tell anyone where he will be and when except his closest guards at the last second
he will not even see his own children without a written request.
he never stops moving around and he is never in the same place twice.
The Mossad is the favorite to take him out. they made a few attempts and failed.
The US fired a missile at his bunker during the Gulf War - which pissed the world off since he was hiding under the Al Rashid hotel where most foreign journalists were staying. if i recall correctly, the missile went right through the front door and into the lobby.
i think that if concerned parties could take him out, they would. but killing Saddam Hussein does not necessarily change the regime in place or its policies.
