None of what you cite is a reason to go to war. They are a reason to continue to stand on the borders of his country and demand that he comply. It is a reason to spend a couple of billion to launch a few more satellites and watch everything that moves in Iraq. Far cheaper than the 200 billion we've spent to depose Saddam. You will think I am wrong, but I think that we could have continued to send inspectors to Iraq, continued to make life difficult for Saddam, continued bring intl focus to the atrocities he was committing and the world would have forced him from power. It could have been done. I am not one of those that believe W started this war to get Iraqi oil in the hands of his cronies. I think he truly believed that this was the only way to achieve a more peaceful world. I think it shows a lack creative thinking. It is the dinosaur part of our brain that is telling us to kill. Sometimes killing is necessary, but it is a last resort. Do you really think Saddam was such a threat to us that we were at that point? jb
