<<The threat of Saddam has been blown way out of proportion.>>

Could you substantiate that?

1) He doesn't like us.
2) He is building and has WMD - that is a fact.
3) He is a dictator.

Individually these don't seem like a lot. But you only need to look at N. Korea to see what happens when a 3) dictator, who gets his hands on 2) WMD, and then on top of that 1) doesn't like us can do.

The fact that there is oil there, so what? Do you think we'll go in there and steal the fields? There is oil in Saudia Arabia, we're not bombing them. It's a moronic argument.

I'll further that by saying that if we took the French route during the 90's, we could relax the sanctions and oil prices would have plummeted. That would have been enough. But we didn't.

The US has the moral high ground on this one. Just ask the Chechens, Tibetans, Taiwanese, French-Africans, and Eastern Europe.
