Strange that so many think a civil war, with a little revenge, cleansing, fights over oil, between old and
especially the new, opportunistic groups of Irak would lead to exactly the opposite.
No wonder that the only signs of Al Qaeda in Irak is in the northern US-UK unilateral,
not-UN-supported no-fly zone.

That is, fertile ground and perfect opportunities for terrorism, with different groups from the whole region
plus some more distant ones involved.

And for those WMDs, are you talking nuclear bombs, or biological ones, difficult to produce or very
simple to produce?? Or stuff which any basic chemical labratory, factory can produce??

On the other hand, if you would have written < After US has taken over Iraq, this will prevent Al Qaeda ..>
the rest might be kind of probable, except that it would be a really good situation for any anti-american
terrorist group to get more supporters and do some on-site practicing.

Now, if those "Saddam's WMDs" would be so easy to get rid of then, by finding out where they are,
how come it is so difficult now, by the inspectors, when somebody claims "they know they are
there" but won't tell??

Btw, no wonder Superman was/is so popular in USA, he would truely be needed in the willing
coalition, just as to sort out US domestic crime, use his magic alien forces to cath the bad guys.

Al Qaeda has no ties to Saddam. Our own CIA believes that Saddam is only likely to use WMD if he is attacked.
