<What would you and the world have said if we attacked Afghanistan pre-9/11?>

Had a clear and factual threat been made prior to 9/11?

After you get your point made. Can you ask these questions? Would attacking Afghanistan prior to 9/11 have actually prevented the events of 9/11? Can you say it would have in any certainty?

didn't we have a treaty with Saddam to allow inspections?


Yes. And he is allowing inspections.

Inspectors are going to WHEREVER they want, and asking WHATEVER questions they want, and taking samples from WHEREVER they want.

Your conviction that Iraq is NOT allowing inspections is based ONLY on Blix's statement that he does not "feel" like Saddam has fully accepted disarmement.

How is THAT grounds for a war?
