You've ignored so many valid points in your responses, it's ridiculous. Re: "This Iraq War simply doesn't HAVE to happen. There's simply no immediate threat and so long as he's in a box there probably never will be." He's in an inspection box, as you put it, one that couldn't exist without forces building-up threatening him. This sort of box is very costly, mainly because he is NOT cooperating. Why isn't he? Your box is quite expensive, so don't give me that ludicrous cost argument, ok(and the "box" doesn't even do the job you HOPE it does, with any certainty, does it?)? 9/11 outlines the kind of threat he poses, and no supposed inspection box that's actively looking for hidden and moving needles in a haystack will stop his contribution to terror. Re: "Please don't be naive. And please don't believe everything our President and his people tell you." Ahem...hey, please don't be naive and REJECT EVERYYHING our President tells us, ok? But, as was said, you will speak out of both sides of your mouth, so long as both sides attack a Republican at the time, logic be damned! No war HAS to happen. It's just better that it does, quite often. No one is assuming SadDam is completely suicidal, as you imagine must be the case. Think man. A briefcase smuggled. A vial such as Powell held up. He may well have supplied the Anthrax, we don't know(which is the point - if he can't easily be tied to the acts, he's home free with you at the helm - and he can arrange such regardless of how many inspectors are in place). Just having the inspectors in place pisses this guy off and will likely spur him to action, wouldn't you think? I would, given his treatment of the matter. We should hurry.). What we do know is that the bastard has bad intentions for us, and is attempting to fool the inspectors(and can obviously do so in many many instances). Why? Don't you be naive. Support our troops and hope they are successful. Disarming Iraq will be to our obvious benefit, and will likely save lives vs the "peaceful" alternative you support. Dan B
