<Given the alternatives, I would argue that Saddam made the wrong choice.> Oh sure, I agree with that. I was just explaining what he'd be thinking and why he kicked out the USA spies along with the UN. Plus, he would think he could try on the resuscitation of his chemical, biological and noocular weapons. Maybe Pakistan was telling him that he could get on the list with Libya as a recipient of bomb-making technology and maybe even an actual ready to go bomb, so he needed to get rid of inspectors for that reason too. Sanctions weren't coming off. He was obviously going to be left to swing in the breeze, so he might as well take some action. I'd have done a lot different if I was him. I'd have done a lot different if I was King George II too. I'm not confident that we've seen the end of noocular bomb proliferation and could yet get a horrible surprise. Buffett thinks it likely, so I don't feel that I'm insanely paranoid. He seems fairly grounded in reality. Mqurice
