Hello Zonder, I disagree. Until Blix makes his report to the UN, he has no need say either way what he thinks of the missing material because Iraq may make a disclosure by then.

"no, some missing scientists are not non-compliance with UN resolutions" Well then, how many missing scientists make "four flat tires"? Meaning no disrespect, but isn't it naive to think that a dictator, who has no qualms about gassing his own people, might slit the throat of a few scientists and their families who he fears might talk.

"Because, to the best of my knowledge, no such proof exists." I thought it was common knowledge that he offers a payment to the families of suicide bombers. Or is suicide bombing not terrorism?

"Oh and by the way, did you know that most of IRA's financing came from the Irish in America?" Yes, I did know and have mentioned here at SI in the past.

I've spoken with one Iraqi, and while he is against bombing the country, he believes that most people in Iraq would love to see Saddam deposed. This guy was a refugee whose family had disappeared, no doubt they had run off into the "sunset for a better future" in heaven or jail.

By the way, I do enjoy reading your posts, particularly the science stuff.
