"He said we must take action BEFORE the threat becomes imminent." Which is hard to disagree with. Prior to the war, my position was basically if they have smallpox, nuke them now, if they don't, we can afford to move slower. Also, I'm not too crazy about putting soldiers in harm's way when we have the capability of killing the enemy from a safe distance. Most of the WMDs don't scare me much, they aren't that useful in an attack against us. But what the russians were doing with smallpox scares the fark out of me. That stuff was deadly as can be and can travel miles and miles on a breeze. That is when the dung really hits the fan, when terrorists get their hands on bio-engineered diseases. It will make mustard gas look like child's play.
