Aahh...that elusive resolution. Two more years and we may not have to worry about it at all. One hopes.

And then in 5 or 10 more years and we may encounter nuclear blackmail from Iraq or a terrorist or Iraqi operative with a nuke to use on an important American target if we ever do have to confront Iraq in the future.


Tim, how can they possibly blackmail us when we have an arsenal that could wipe them out at least three times over.

Why don't we call a spade a spade. Saddam is a potential troublemaker that makes the neighborhood [the earth] feel unsafe and we know we can take him out fairly easily because we believe he has few if any friends. That's what's going on........and for many people, that's not good enough reasoning to topple him.

You know...that's fear talking. The rational arguments that have been made don't support your hypothesis at all.
