Iraq agreed to UN-backed no-fly zones as part of their Gulf War surrender and yet continue to violate this UN resolution on a regular basis. The Iraqi regime doesn't give a rats patoot about the UN and yet the limp-wristed anti-war left holds out hope that they will give "unfettered access" to their WMD program. Heck, they don't even give "unfettered access" to their airspace!

If Iraq isn't a regional threat, why hasn't the UN lifted the no-fly zone resolution or why haven't any of Iraq's Arab neighbors requested an end to these missions over Iraq? It's because Saddam's regime is a huge threat to the region and America and his Arab neighbors know it.
