I think that regime destabilization is the way to go. This has a much higher probability of success, in my opinion. But no half-measures, like when Bush 41 encouraged the uprising against Saddam, and then wouldn't back it. We're still paying for that piece of boneheaded double-dealing.

If we encourage it, we better be there for 'em until they settle into the seat of power, and then some. We can do that without an army on the ground.
