Jon- I'm not sure what your point is. Certainly if UNSCOM inspectors have unfettered access to all suspected sites, they will be in a much better position to identify and document where the Iraqis are building chemical and biological weapons. Those countries serious about restraining Saddam's ability to accumulate such weapons would have to access their options when and if such weapon sites are uncovered. <<If it really was important enough to kill innocent people and I mean RIGHT NOW, what has changed?>> The US has withheld military response- unwisely IMO- for years in the face of sustained, repeated violations on the part of the Iraqis. It's hardly a quick knee-jerk reaction like you seem to be making it out to be. <<It's going to take hundreds of seimic crews years to ferret out the underground factories, if indeed there are any>> Ensuring Iraqi compliance will indeed not be a simple task, and will probably take years. Hey, that's not all bad in my book! Larry
