Do you also agree that you and I probably don't have the most up to date intelligence on what threat Iraq may pose to the U.S.? If so, isn't it premature to say "don't start the war"? Isn't the right place to start "show me the threat"? My concern is that the template for attacking the U.S. has been set. Not necessarily by flying airplanes into buildings, but by doing other acts of terrorism on our own soil. I believe that our Gov't has evidence that Saddam was directly or indirectly planning to do something. If there is no evidence, then I would not support an act of aggression toward Iraq. And "no", I don't trust the UN to do a thorough inspection. BTW: did you see that bit of news a couple of weeks ago where Germany was selling arms and other prohibited goods to Iraq. And then coincidentally, Germany says that they won't support aggression against Iraq?
