I would recommend containment Thank you John. Of all the "Doves" on this board, you were the only one that stepped up to the plate and answered my challenge of "What would you do?" I disagree with your answer of "do nothing", of course. Lets face it, you, and most of the other people who think like you, would never accept the word of this administration as to what Saddam has, so it is useless to post estimates from anyone as to what he has. None of you deny that he is trying to get Atomic Weapons. But that does us no good either. Even if you believed he had them, most of you, from what I read here, would be against stopping him then because you are not convinced he would use them. So even if you were convinced he had them, you would still oppose attacking him. So I guess there is no way that most of you "Doves" would be in favor of attacking Saddam unless he actually bombed somebody. And I am even reading the posts here to mean that a few of you would not be in favor of attacking him even then unless he directly hit us. So It looks like it is useless to discuss this subject here.
