>> How many troops would be on the ground today in Iraq, if Hans Blix or the French were permitted to conduct inspections for 2 weeks more

That's a contrived question. The real life and death question is how many deaths would have been spared ? Of course, to you sitting comfortable wherever you are that is irrelevant. But to the families of the dead, maimed and crushed, their question is what would have been the harm of letting the inspectors determine if there really is a cause for war or not ? So what if it took two more weeks or two more years.

By the way, in case you don't know, once a person is dead, they don't come back. Once a limb is crushed, it's a life-time of pain.

The war cheer-leaders are not talking much about WMD anymore, now that they've got the moron majority dug into the hole.
