Prove it. Show me there there is no alternative There are four alternatives: 1) Negotiation (diplomacy) 2) Overthrow from within (with CIA support) 3) Containment 4) War 1) It is not possible to negotiate with a liar, as we learned before the Gulf War, and the violation of the ceasefire is further confirmation that you can NEVER negotiate with Iraq. 2) If we can overthrow from within, that's great. We've been trying for 10 years, and it hasn't worked. Informed persons say that Saddam maintains the regime so tightly that it is near impossible for any movement to overthrow to gain ground. I support continuing to attempt to overthrow him while preparing for war. 3) Containment hasn't worked. Today, Saddam's WMD program is better developed than it was at the end of the Gulf War and when the weapons inspectors left. We can debate the reasons, as I know we disagree on that -- but there is ample intelligence to confirm this fact. 4) Well, that's where it leaves us. Unless you have another idea that the Bush foreign policy team has overlooked?
