Remember, a little can of spam can hold a lot of WMDs, anyone who did not fall asleep during basic chemistry classes can do wonders with just some nuts. What's the problem with "leave no child behind" in terms of biology, history and chemistry?? Did not improve in 1957 (sputnik, you know??) nor in the 60s?? not even with loads of spinning spam.. pragard.com

D*N! We've actually got somebody on board who knows something about this stuff. Sure should dampen the hi-falutin' opinionating that normally characterizes this thread. Stick around. Yes I am a pacifist....but we cannot afford the risk.* Can REAL pacifism and realism coexist in the same person?

Dear Bill Jackson, I think that the UN is well aware of the limitations of their inspections and could always work out ways to fix shortcomings. Besides, I may be a Rocket Scientist with a PhD and could come up with numerous far more convincing and dangerous scenarios. Hypothetical scenarios invoking hysteria will not help us. We know the weapons we gave him. And we should be able to disarm him without civilian casualties. IMO, you underestimate our American ingenuity when you feel that a nasty war is our only solution. It is our only solution if we are after the $5 trillion in Iraqi oil. It's not a preferred solution if we just want to disarm Saddam, IMO. The ever changing rationale of Dubya for the Iraqi invasion leads me to suspect that the true rationale is being hidden. Perhaps, like Iraqi oil in the ground. Oh what a tangled web we weave when first we practice to deceive. Let's see how Dubya wiggles out of this one.
