Of course, the inspectors aren't talking about leaving him to his devices... they'd be taking his devices away. The inspectors would be doing no such thing. If Saddam ever turns over any of his devices, it'll be because the US military is sitting just outside the border ready to take a good solid 'whack'. It always amazes me that people want to 'let the inspectors do their job'. Well they can't. Their job description is to verify that Iraq is disarming. And since Iraq isn't disarming there isn't anything to verify. Except a few empty warheads and maybe some missiles that can fly a tad too far. That they are going around doing surprise searches is a huge charade. Why is it that people don't understand this? This is one of the huge failures of the current administration IMHO. Now we have a significant part of the American population (and the world) thinking more inspections could somehow bring a peaceful solution even while Saddam refuses to disarm. Completely ignorant and wrong, but there is not a loud counterargument for anyone to hear. Using the word 'inspector' in the first place is a bell that should not have been rung, as it is misleading in this circumstance. BWDIK, JJ

Zo Re..,.Of course, the inspectors aren't talking about leaving him to his devices... they'd be taking his devices away Just how long will the inspectors be able to do that if the US pulls its troops back out. Surely you don't think we can keep 250 k troops in Kuwait for five to ten yrs, do you? Secondly, all of the troops in SA, and Kuwait, the no fly zones, and the sanctions,since 1991, are the specific reasons given by OBL for his jihad. Controlling Saddam, inadvertently gave rise to Al Qaeda. Keeping even more troops there will be even more caustic to the arabs.
