Albert, the information I have of course is incomplete. I don't know of any source(s) for "complete" information, if there is such a thing. However, the information from my own personal experience and knowledge is accurate. I'm just telling it as it is.

War is the wrong way to deal with Saddam. Leaving Iraq in the lurch, as we have already pretty much left Afghanistan, will simply provide more fuel for terrorists. To get rid of terrorism, which is the main issue, one has to look for its causes and deal with them intelligently. Among the highest priorities would be to exert influence on the Israeli government to stop building new settlements and begin to support a policy of Arabs and Jews working and living together, rather than separately. It isn't going to be easy, but at least it has better prospects for success than a war with an uncertain (long term) outcome.
