Hi Carl - good arguments.

Problem is, that I have been persuaded by other arguments. I don't see US/Iraq as traditional geopolitics. I don't really give a rat's patootie about Saddam and his ego and his pathology.

What I care about is the weapons. And the Islamist radicals who *would* kill us with them if they could. Regardless of what happened in the past. I care about the future. My future.

I have no idea where you live. Let me tell you where I live. My husband works less than half a mile from the Pentagon, directly across the Potomac river from Washington. We live far enough away that the rest of us aren't at risk for a chemical bomb, if it is on target. We are at risk for nuclear and biological. Husband is at risk for everything when he is at work.

This is not abstract to me. Someone wants to kill, not "Americans," but me and my family.

I will be infinitely grateful if Bush nips this in the bud.
