>>While a real lack of proof is what it is, reasonable suspicion long held (pre-bush) and backed up by a few other highly suggestive and incriminating if sparsely detailed intelligence reports, remains reasonable suspicion. Suspicions of Iraqi collusion/support of 911-like terrorism if not 911 itself in the end, in fact became even more reasonable after 911 than before it. Going to war with an uncooperative, threatening, and avowed enemy country like Iraq after 911 will always simply seem a reasonable and necessary part of history to masses of people who will all oneday have shed such religious fervor (as seen in the radically religious of all stripes).<< Dan - Going to war on the basis of suspicion is not reasonable, whether the suspicion is reasonable or not. Preemptive war is a very bad idea, for a number of reasons, some of which I have already written about in this forum. I would still argue that the suspicions regarding active cooperation between Saddam and Al Qaeda are not well supported by the evidence. - Allen
