You make the mistake in thinking that these (Saddam and his cohorts) are just misguided individuals who have a good heart buried somewhere deep down inside. We will talk to them nice and reasonably, and they will see the light!
The average Arab person does not like (if not hate for) the US, the average Iraqi has a fundamental hate for the US.
The regime which controls the Iraqi population is corrupt brutal, and intertwined within the population so completely that what you are proposing, is like walking through a pirana infested river while carrying raw bacon in your hands - you?re going to get bitten, and once they get a taste, you?re going to get eaten.
Unfortunately viewing the world from within a democracy, and being ignorant, as a lot of us are, as to how ass-backwards that these parts of the world indeed are, makes us overly optimistic as to the possibility of change, and somehow magically making these bad parts of the world -right again-
On the other side of the coin, a lot of people think, you invade Iraq, oust Saddam, and go home again, and every one lived happily ever after!
Remember the second world war;
Germany, US and allied troops still stationed there.
Japan, US troops still there.
Korea 50 years later, US troops are still there
