In an act of spite, he had every single oil well in the country blown up.

Actually, the U.S. started many of those fires itself.

But you shouldn't doubt he has WMD's.

One rule of thumb is to doubt anything you say. Bush & Co. are trumpeting the new IISS report as their evidence. What does the report say? Saddam was closer to an atom bomb in 1991 than he is today. As for his chemical and biological weapons, Saddam's arsenal was largely destroyed by 1998.

Today is Thursday. The inspectors said they wanted to go in on Monday, but the U.S. has blocked them so far.

The US should not have given him the green light to go into Kuwait to begin with.

Those sanctions should have been removed years ago, but since our government needs a boogeyman, Saddam is the man.

As for his mansions, are they any more repugnant than the matriarchal dollhouses we see springing up in former fields of food and fiber?
