Yes, he did violate UN sanctions for 12 years, but that was the disconnection I couldn't never understand. All he had to is play by rules and he could have keep America at bay, but cheat and cheat he did. I am not a psychiatrist and can't understand the insane machinations Saddam was going through, and perhaps it was all a rouse. He got rid of the weapons in early 90s and was using the ambiguity to instill fear through out the region. Whatever the case may have been the facts are; the UN inspected, the Army WMD team search for more than a year, and they found nothing.

BUT NONE OF THIS IVORY TOWER DEBATE MATTERS, WE ARE AT WAR NOW, AND FINDING A WAY TO VICTORY IS ALL THAT MATTERS. I AM NOT ONE OF THOSE LIBS THAT IS GOING TO RE-LIVE THE WAR DEBATE ELECTION CYCLE AFTER ELECTION CYCLE. WE NEED TO DEAL WITH THE NOW. (I only cap for emphasis), MY ONLY POINT IS RELIEVE THE RIGHT OF ITS NAIVATE, BUSH WANTED TO GO TO WAR AND HE DIDN'T LIE. HOWEVER, HE SEVERILY BIASED THE PROCESS, AND WE WILL NEVER KNOW WHY, AT LEAST WITH ANY DIFFINITY. PERHAPS IT WAS THE BEST STRATEGY TO DEFEAT THE TERRIORIST WORLD WIDE, SPREAD DEMOCRACY AND DENY THE TERRIORIST HAVENS. I AGREE THAT IT COULD WORK, BUT THE STRATEGY WILL OUT LIVE HIS ADMINSTRATION.
