Here's the updated proposal since I can't edit the first post (been more than 60 minutes):<blockquote>This proposal is for a UN-ran election in Iraq. Under this proposal, the United Nations would help to provide unbiased aid for funding campaigns; a cheaper alternative than war. The Iraqi people vote on their leader with Saddam Hussein being one of those people running for election. This type of resolution is more likely to be passed by the United Nations than a War on Iraq; especially the five countries with vetoing power. All of this would need to be done in a limited amount of time. Suggested time would be a week for the United Nations to draft and send the proposal to Saddam Hussein and allow 48 hours for him to respond. Given the United Nations approval of this proposal, there would be three possible results:
1) Saddam does not reach a decision in 48 hours - This shows he's unsure about the idea, and knows he faces the possibility of defeat. This should be enough to persuade the veto-powered nations and other nations to vote in favor of military action in Iraq.
2) Saddam rejects the proposal - This shows that he knows he knows that he will lose and is not interested. This also should be enough to persuade the veto-powered nations and other nations to vote in favor of military action in Iraq.
3) Saddam accepts the proposal - We hold elections very similar to those in the United States. Given what he says holds true, the people will unanimously elect him. If this is not the case another leader (a Kurd, or Shiit, or whoever won the election) takes power. All new methods of governing would be implimented with a new ruler.
Additional things included in the propsosal would be certain stipulations that the United Nations would demand given a new ruler took over, including steps we think would be necessary in order to convert Iraq to a sucessful, functitioning nation. The aforementioned proposal is very logical, and has nothing but sought after outcomes for the United states:
a) United Nations no longer accepts Saddam as the ruler of Iraq and will support the liberation of the Iraqi people (Resulting from options 1 and 2 above)
b) Election is held and ran by the United Nations to insure a fair election (Resulting from option 3 above)</blockquote>
