>1. Don't you consider those many evils he's already done to the men women & children who live & dies at the hands of Sadam & future numbers doomed if he continues in power? He used poison gas on his own people! Did i say that did i not say it was one man who was destroying a whole nation? We as people do not execute family for the sins of one person who is the one who killed. If we are to be at peace with the Arab world who we buy oil from is it not up to the Arabs to assure our and the worlds safety? I do not support Iraq or Iran for that matter i have girlfriend who went back to Iran because her mother was ill and she was the only child left to care for her parent. She did so with her heart breaking knowing she could never come back this land. Her love for her family was so strong, Women are not respected in many of these nations. Our law and our fine men here revere women and children. With Sadam women and children are his shields and it is one man who must not remain at the helm of the nation. The people in that nation attempt to live in spite of him, it is wrong that they should die to spite him.

long-gone >Did you miss reports about Sadam's meetings with al-Qaeda leaders, including bin Laden Basically, that's most unlikely although the linkage is something the US administration would dearly love to believe even if they had to send the anthrax themselves. The reason it can't be is that Iraq is the most secular of all Muslim states and Al Qaeda is is "true blue" Islamic fundamentalist. Indeed, it is because Iraq is opposed to Islamic fundamentalism that the West supported it in the war against Iran 20 years ago after the Ayatollah chased the Shah out. In fact, it is the Kurds who are friendly with Al Qaeda and I don't need to tell you that it is the Kurds who the US is looking to as allies in the overthrow of Saddam. Sorry, but the linkage between Saddam and the Islamic fundamentalists won't stick.
