The other question is: What if Iraq is near completion (heavens forbid, already developed) of a doomsday device of mass destruction -- either nuclear or biological, and we don't stop him now? (Where is that 6 to 8 oz of missing uranium unaccounted for since the breakup of the Soviet Union?)

I was living over in Saudi during the Gulf War, and that bunker that was destroyed by a SCUD, killing 200 Americans, was only a couple blocks from my compound, in Dhahran. I would be in support of military action...in fact, I would have preferred Bush to have finished the job back in '90-'91; he should have supported the Kurdish revolt after the Gulf War, thus uniting the two factions against Saddam. This would have spared the innocent Iraqi people 7 years of grief...instead, the US appears to be a bully -- effectively encouraging heightened anti-west sentiment in the Mid-East.

Individuals like Saddam are infections that need to be wiped out before they get a chance to fester and become terminal. Remember the cost of not opposing Hitler in the 30s as soon as he began his aggressions towards his neighbors.
