<< Intercepted with what? If launched could they reach America without being intercepted? No Way. >>

I'm not a military person but it seems to me if we are worried about a weapon of mass destruction being launched from Iraq toward the US, we have the defense capability to intercept it with anti-missile weaponry. During desert storm we were able to knock their fighters out of the sky. Ours have continued to improve, while they haven't been upgrading their technology. We were able to knock short range missiles out; seems like one going across the ocean is a no brainer.

On August 6, 1945, in Hiroshima 125,000 died.

How many more Iraqi children should we kill in order to depose Saddam Hussein? 10,000? 50,000? 100,000? How many? That is if we presume that unseating Saddam is even the real goal here. You decide. Because Bill Clinton has been deciding on our behalf with increasing numbers of dead children.

"There is one crime against humanity in this last decade of the millennium that exceeds all others in its magnitude, cruelty, and portent. It is the U.S.-forced sanctions against the twenty million people of Iraq."
