Karen,
Because you are right you are wrong= imo. All those loose ends you talk about are key. Now think of Saddam on top of the heap with nukes and deliverable chemicals and bio weapons. When i add this to the brew i am horrified by what i see. But most folks are not. Its not because i am smarter because i am most certainly not. Perhaps its the training in this field that has taught me to look to the nuance. To me all you mention is containable in some fashion including al quaida. But a runaway Iraq scares the s..t out of me. Of course i could be wrong. Saddam could die or become more moderate once he attains these weapons or we could have perpetual inspections but i dont think so. Mike
PS i am only 60-65% sure i am right on this. But my gut says i am.

Karen,

One small point - I have read nothing on any news service that indicates that India is harboring AlQueda terrorists. Did you mistype or is there something I have missed?

John

There is no justification for war against Iraq;

Sure there is: It's an evil, genocidal, stalinist regime and it should be put down before it spreads.
