Ted, I think those numbers are highly inflated but in your mind, they justified this war?

I don't doubt that the numbers were probably inflated, but that's not the point.

Like I just said to Al, inspections and sanctions were the worst of both worlds. No one wanted to trust Saddam or let him have a free hand in killing people, but no one really wanted to take him out, either. It's a three-way dilemma, with the middle ground (inspections and sanctions) being the worst.

The sooner the U.N. realizes this, the better. I'll bet most individuals within the U.N. do, but feel powerless to change it. (That should tell you how much more faith I have in the U.N. vs. some other conservatives out there.)
