Hi D. Long; Re: If it is the case that "most" would agree he is a danger and bent on building WMD, the question SHOULD NOT be "why attack now?" The question should be "why are you all opposed now?"
This is very well stated. But since you're in the minority, it's you that have the explaining to do, not those of us in the majority.
A lot of us know that Saddam is a danger and that he'd like to acquire weapons of mass destruction. But still we don't support an attack. In fact, the same can be said of our allies, and it can be said even more of the neighbors of Iraq.
All these countries that are against an Iraqi war are closer to the front lines than the US is. Logic would suggest that they are more familiar with the details of Saddam, his dangers, his WMDs, and the possible policy options than the US is.
And yet, all these countries and people, including luminaries in the US of both the Right and Left, agree on no attack. Sometimes it seems like Bush can't get anyone to agree with him, except Israel and no more than 1/3 of his own administration.
So what's your explanation? Someone is wrong here, who is it?
