National security is critical, but when was the last time Saddam attacked us? Saddam attacks our planes patroling the no-fly zone weekly, and has done so for years. So, the answer is, "frequently".

Even with his rousing speech last week, Bush has no mandate for war. People still want real evidence and more allies. Do you know how absurd these statements are? You don't start wars on the basis of a mandate from polls taken by CNN & Time. Wars are started for a righteous cause, regardless and often in spite of polls. One reason the Clinton presidency was such an abject failure is that his policy was driven not by any righteous or moral cause, but by the weekly polls interpreted by Dick Morris. I recommend you read the fundamental text on the subject, "Profiles in Courage". Perhaps then you could see what is meant by "leadership".

I am not for Nader at all, though he has his points. National security is critical, but when was the last time Saddam attacked us? Seeing as Saddam support terrorist against Israel, Saddam indirectly attacked the US or its allies last wk. as Israel was attacked by rockets last wk. And the guy cooking ricin, in UK, came from northern Iraq, and technically, we still are at war, since Saddam didn't abide by the conditions of the 91 treaty. Otherwise, I say keep him in a box, And you would know enough about classified intelligence to say that. Powell is going to make the Al Qaeda connection on Wednesday. Reportedly, Saddam has given them info on gas making procedures. How is that keeping Saddam in a box, if he did that? I am beginning to doubt you would know what a box is, even if it had hair on it.
