You betcha! The first time Saddam fired on one of our planes in the no fly zone we should have leveled Baghdad.
When we had 500,000 troops in theater was the time to go...he said later that every Iraqi they saw was going the other way at the time and that Saddam and his cronies were ready to flee in a big way and leave the city open to us back then.
At that time we had the necessary force structure to completely pacify the belligerents instead of bypassimg them.
IMHO, it's time we do it now...and I believe we can do it (if we are committed to it) with the forces we have there now.
