as some one pointed out above, some of us belive that human life is more precious than anything

See, that's the thing. What do you do when other people are violating that sanctity? when other people are killing and torturing people? I totally oppose the death penalty, and i wish i could just be wholly consistent and say "killing is wrong, always, war is never right," but it's not that easy. It's certainly not in keeping with a belief about the value of human life to let people continue to be tortured and killed. I know it's not fair to expect every peace protester to have an alternative solution, but i don't see anyway to get rid of Saddam (which i think everyone agrees is necessary) without military force.
