We should let a sleeping dog alone. The policy of containment worked well for the US with regards to USSR, Korea and China for years. Only if Iraq attacks should we respond. These other countries all have "weapons of mass destruction".

If we treat Saddam like a cornered animal, I know how I would react, if I were he. Do not take on US military but hit us where we are most vulnerable; through our porous borders.

A suitcase nuke in manhatten would not only destroy lives but wreck our financial nerve center. Real estate prices in all large US cities would collapse as no sane individaual would take such a risk of living there. Don't be deceived into believing that some terrorist weapon hasn't been sold to a Saddam or other fanatic. The odds are great that it has already happened. Black mkts. are a fact of life.

Historically the US has been the safest place to live; personally I don't want to bet on it continuing much longer.

Clinton should pull up his pants and leave Iraq alone!
