You make some good points and I don't want to be one of those people who claims you entire basis for not wanting to go to war is wrong just because I happen to think we may need to. I couldn't possibly address all of you points so I will just say what I'm thinking at this point. My concern (and it goes beyond Iraq) is that there are a few countries and leaders that I believe threaten the safety of the globe if not today in the future. We looked the other way with Hitler and it nearly came back to bite everyone on earth. I'm not sure I want to repeat that mistake when the technology of war has advanced to a point where its now possible to reach any corner of the globe with the push of a button. Although Saddam may not have this potential now I don't think its prudent to wait until he has that capability before we act. His neighbors already worry about him and his intentions and I don't want to have to worry as well if we delay taking action for another 10 years. Under no circumstances can we allow our country to become a target for ICBM's when and if Saddam acquires the technology. He has WMD and while I have never seen them he has used them. I have never seen WMD that France, Russia, UK, India, Pakistan, N Korea and the others have either but I think we all accept they have them
