Rob, <Why not give inspections a chance?> You realize, of course, that had it not been for Bush, inspectors wouldn't have been in there in the first place? In fact, countries like France were pushing for the easing of sanctions well after Saddam kicked inspectors out. The reality is that inspections are nothing more than a multi-faceted sham. Bush is using inspections to gain support for a war. Saddam is using inspectors as a sort of "human shield." European nations like France are using inspections as a way to prevent a unilateral America from asserting too much control over the Middle East. Not to mention that they profit from the very regimes that they verbally denounce. And to think that all of this could have been prevented had Saddam been a good boy all along. "Why not give inspections a chance," you ask? Because the goal, disarming Iraq, will never be achieved as long as Saddam is in power. In my opinion, it's better to take him out now than wait until he becomes as dangerous as North Korea (which some argue is a bigger threat than Saddam). Plus, there are other benefits (humanitarian, deterrence of other up-n-coming evil regimes, etc.) Tenchusatsu
