I don't know, and certainly don't have the information that our Administration and Congress have. My guess is the media doesn't either.

I do feel that if the Democratic Senators Biden and Liberman are saying "that there will be a war, the only question is just when and what plan"...then there is ample reason they are openly saying it.

I personally don't think war is the answer. But then, on the other hand, I can't even imagine a bioterrorism attack, or chemical attack, or nuclear attack on this country, and honestly I don't think the majority of citizens can either. Most of us couldn't imagine 9-11 either.

We know Al Qaeda and Bin Laden have for years said "death to America"....and if we can have certain proof that Iraq has funded Al Qaeda, as well as if Iraq is building WMD...it would seem that now is the time, rather than later to erase this scourge.

Since Saddam has previously shown the world his madness, including setting the oil fields on fire....it doesn't take much of a stretch to imagine he would do something really insane.

The answer lies in trust. Do we believe the Republican President and the Democratic and Republican Senators ??

If the President and Senators understand the alternatives well, and vote to go to war against Iraq, then so be it.
