There is very little reason for Saddam to give away his WMDs unless he were cornered and his existence threatened This is the question, and the answer will be found not in how things look to you or me, but how they look to Saddam. IMO, he is cornered and his existence is threatened. This has been true since the Gulf War and is getting truer all the time. I agree that the Palestinians probably do not have bioweapons in the West Bank or they would have used them. But if intelligence reports say that Saddam is supplying them in Iraq, then it's only a matter of time. You are quite right that attacking Iraq is dangerous. However, waiting until Saddam has nuclear weapons is dangerous too. Being perceived as a paper tiger is very dangerous, and has already cost us the WTC. We do not have the option of comparing danger to safety; only of comparing one danger to another.
