In the end they are terrorist groups. There are also charities around the world that support Al Qaeda. Al Qaeda also funneled a lot of money into "education". They are one and the same.

That's approach is simplistic at best and violating international law at it's worst. You may be able to get by under the "Torture Treaty" (I don't remember the full name of the treaty) but it was hard to justify trying Pinochet, it'll be harder to justifiy killing Hussein.
And what will America do? Not attack Iraq? Not change the government? The fact is that International Law is a joke. It doesn't exist as each country has tried to twist it into their own version.
