I certainly do not know the true facts, but we do know Saddam has demonstrated his own demented ability to use banned chemicals against his own people. This confirms his instability. I think we can believe from the multiple sources through the years that he most likely has stockpiles of banned chemicals at least. We can also use basic common sense to see that he is not turning anything over as has been required by recent resolutions. All he is doing is the bare minimum required to delay an attack. If he truly wanted peace, he would direct the inspectors to the banned agents rather than playing this game of having them wander around the country "not discovering" anything. You are a smart person, Scott. Do you honestly think that Saddam is stable, has no illegal chemicals, has no plans to develop the eventual ability to reach the USA with weapons so his threat then has legs behind it, and that he is actually wanting to turn over anything by his own free will? Do you honestly think that if he eventually develops nuclear weapons or missiles that can carry biological agents to the USA that the world will be better off with him in power? Some even use the excuse that if we get rid of him, another will rise that could be worse. By that logic, one would never take penicillin for an infection because they figured they were going to get heart trouble one day anyway. Come on Scott. People need to think about those that will come after them and not just themselves. Of course no one can know Bush's motives, but we surely shouldn't let his potential motives (or what we surmise them to be) make us dismiss the reality of Saddam's evil intent that is plain common sense. If you have to choose between the two, which person will make life in the USA safer? It's not a perfect world. Sometimes the choice is simply the lesser of two evils?

I remain,

SOROS
