We cannot stop terrorists by invading nations

Hi, Steven.

I had forgotten I had written that post eons ago. Welcome back.

Saddam's threat is a two-bladed one. He can supply terrorists with WMDs, harbor them in Iraq, and train them.

I know, I know....his connection to AQ and OBL hasn't been proven to the strict evidentiary level required in courtrooms by the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. I refer you to Goldberg's latest New Yorker article on that point. In a nutshell, it's insane to require strict proof in this arena. A mere reasonable possibility is more than enough on which to act. Otherwise, we risk catastrophe.

Secondly, the whole Pollack argument in my view justifies invading Iraq. You might recall that he believes that the the connection between OBL and Saddam is uncertain and perhaps non-existent.
