the proponents and opponents of the war have
private agendas.

France and Russia are worried about all the
money they're making off Saddam.

In the last analysis, they'll fall in
line if we attack because they need to be
there when a new regime is installed for the
very same financial reasons.

I'm personally not convinced we're doing this for oil
or even the Euro dollars issue. But if that's
part of it, so what?

You simply have to ask yourself whether Saddam is
a threat to his own region and the West.
If the answer is yes, the conflict is justified
on the primary level.

Since it's clear he has the weapons and is not
complying with the U.N. requirements, he surely
does pose a threat.

You can't reason with these people and right
now Saddam's laughing up his sleeve as he plays
his games with the U.N. He's in complete control
of the situation so long as the "inspections" continue.

Iraq is about the size of California.

Believe me, I could hide weapons here easily
if given weeks, months and years to do so.
