b_b,

You know very well that Saddam was playing the UN, playing the inspection team and playing the media in regards to his disarmament. The fact that he was buying banned weapons during the inspection process just puts an exclamation point on it.

As far as timing is concerned, when IS the right time? There have been numerous resolutions and 12 years for him to stop playing the game.

additionally, he sponsors Palestinian martyrdom and is definitely a threat to supply the Palestinians with weapons of any kind. I don't want to open a big can of worms here. i will say that I do not support the Israeli or the Palestinian approach to their conflict. I feel that the US and whoever else it takes needs to hammer out a defined Palestinian state that can trade and exist as an entity. That alone might cool much of the hatred in the ME....

I am not a fan of war or loss of life. I personally happen to agree that the time for Saddam to go is here. If you feel that I am a bad person for that, so be it....
