<<...If the administration believes that Hussein would have the potential to use a nuclear weapon on an American city, then I think the time restraint goes out the window again...>>

Do you trust what 'the Administration' may be telling us...? I would trust Scott Ritter (a true patriot / Marine and former UN weapons inspector in Iraq) a lot more than the NeoCon Dick Cheney. I would trust Colin Powell (someone who is open-minded and has spent A LOT of time serving his country in the trenches) much more than someone like Hardline Conservative Richard Perle (a man who seems to want to play wargames)...IMO, its time for W and Cheney to make their case for going to war...Let Congress debate it and decide if they want to authorize spending for a war to engineer a regime change in Iraq...This is serious business and I sure feel like the Administration HAS NOT made a strong case for going to war....Most of our allies in Europe and The Middle East tend to agree with me too.

involve only our national interests....there should be exceptions made when our homeland security is involved.

Please explain to me the difference between "national interest" and "homeland security".

To me they seem the same, couched in different marketing-speak words.

cheers, kumar
