I cannot understand, given that Saddam's record is well known, that there is acceptance of him. Nor can I. I'm perplexed that people expect the inspectors to go in and prove that Iraq has these weapons. Even if they did, Saddam would argue that that's all there is and I'm sure that these people would readily agree with him. It's never easy to go to war, but sometimes it's the best course. I for one, believe that it would take only a few days to sweep through Iraq and surround Baghdad. As the countryside was liberated, you would see dancing in the streets like we did in Afghanistan. The tide would turn on whether this was a just cause and the cowardly world would suddenly line up to help rebuild Iraq. I'm equally as optimistic that a post Saddam Iraq would blossom. With $25 billion in oil income, this is not a third world country that will wallow in poverty. It can rapidly be rebuilt. And once it's rebuilt, it will help turn the entire area into an economic success. This is what the area needs, success, hope and peace.
