The point is that the iraqi people don't want us there.

Says who? Their "official spokesperson" from the Ministry of Information in Baghdad?

...the assertion that iraq had WMDs. Well, they don't...

Quick to draw conclusions, I see. Did you think he'd leave them sitting around out in the dessert by the road from Kuwait? Or maybe you thought he'd keep them in warehouses in Shiite-populated towns. He has them where he can use them if and when he so chooses.

Lizzie, did you think this was some new TV show where Keifer Sutherland can save the world in 24 hours, never stopping to eat or go to the bathroom? Sorry, it's a war. There is no script. There is no wrap-up of all the loose ends of the plot coming neatly at the end of the hour. It's messy. It's unpredictable. People get killed. And it doesn't end conveniently just when you're getting tired of watching.

And it is our business, regardless of whether you get to see the evidence before the arrest like a Law & Order episode. Saddam, with his weapons and his many millions of oppressed people and his funding of terrorism is a threat to the world, especially the US. If doing something about it makes you uncomfortable or if the timing of it inconveniences you, too bad.
