Zeev, The only reason i can think of not to move now is the possibility that with a larger coalition later, we can force saddam to accept terms and/or retire, both seemingly unlikely conclusions. I dont believe containment/deterrence/balance of terror can work over time with a leader who is a cross between Benito Mussolini and Al Capone. Somewhere he blunders into war and when he goes down he will use all his toys. Israel recognized this fact and did not wait for that reactor to be in place before they took it out. Even with the Russians, c/d/bt wasnt always what it was cracked up to be. But both sides with the ability to destroy each other eventually was realized in 1962. So should we elevate iraq to that position as equal? I dont think so. Every tin horn despot will move in that direction. To me its just a question of how and when he will be removed. If one reads Teddy Kennedys speech carefully, he says the same thing. Have inspections. Give allies particularly mideast allies some cover. Then surrender by another name, forced retirement for saddam with severence. Hell Saddam and the enron boys can all go to the same desert island. mike
