I have a couple of questions of my own .... and will even supply the answers ........ :-)

Q: Who says that President Bush is going to start a war without Congressional approval and consent? So far he has only spoken of regime change, not attack.

A: The media and those who oppose him or want to try to make political hay out of this.

Q: If we do nothing .... just look the other way and ignore the potential that Saddam has to wipe out large numbers of people at one time ...... who will be the first to start asking "What did Bush know and when did he know it?" if something catastrophic does happen?

A: Those who are screaming loudest now about how wrong he is to be declaring a war that he hasn't even declared yet.

Tony Blair said it quite nicely today ......

"Because I say to you in all earnestness: If we do not deal with the threat from this international outlaw and his barbaric regime, it may not erupt and engulf us this month or next, perhaps not even this year or the next. But it will at some point. And I do not want it on my conscience that we knew the threat, saw it coming and did nothing."

Congressman Ron Paul (R-TX) is the leading opponent of American imperialism in Congress today. He was the first and most outspoken opponent of the Gulf War and of the latest military actions against Iraq and Serbia.

From antiwar.com - apparently Ron Paul's a big hit there.
