And what exactly would be YOUR largest concern then? The plight of the poor iraqi citizenry, give me a break. Hey, that's the same "high school debate trick" GST used. When did I say that was my largest concern? Perhaps you'd understand all this better if you actually read Bush's national security policy instead of just taking GST's word for what it says. The point of "promoting global democracy," as you so dismissively describe it, is not some altruistic desire to save the "poor Iraqi citizenry" - it is to help eliminate the conditions that breed terrorism. While there is certainly nothing "wrong" about trying, out of compassion alone, to help innocent victims of such as Saddam (in fact, some would say it is wrong NOT to help them), the fact is that it is in our national interest to do so.

Follow-up on "today's find": A U.S. television network reported that initial tests on a 55-gallon (200-litre) barrel of chemicals found by U.S. forces in northern Iraq had detected nerve and blistering agents. Quoting Pentagon officials, ABC News said special forces had found 14 unmarked barrels, at least a dozen missiles and 150 gas masks at a site 112 miles northwest of Baghdad. story.news.yahoo.com PS: Maybe the gas masks were there in case someone from Idaho managed to sneak into the country. ;-)
