By the way, it's not only Bush. The majority of the American people recognize that Saddam Hussein is a direct threat to America and they want him gone. The Congress voted by overwhelmimg margins to authorize the Commander-in-Chief to use the military to take out terrorists and terrorist supporters wherever they are found. Saddam is a terrorist and he supports terrorism. He's now the primary target. As soon as he is dead and his totalitarian regime destroyed the war is over. Saddam is the target, not the Iraqi people. They will be liberated once he is dead.

And pray to God that North Korea backs down. That one could get ugly real fast.

The thing is, it doesn't matter how many people actually die. How many people actually died from the DC sniper? A few. Big deal. But it was national news for a month. All networks, all the time. So - it doesn't matter that chemical attacks won't kill many people. What matters is that the Islamofacists will be making strikes and phoning Dan Rather, and the common people will be running around like headless chickens. The stock market will tank, employers will continue to hold off on hiring people, and in general the economy gets hit. Which is the point.

In a terrorist war, targets are symbolic, media presence is everything, and the goal is economic and political damage. Having the common people screaming for a police state to save us all just plays into the hands of the Communists, Socialists, and other "-ists" that will be delighted to see these terrorist get massive media coverage.

Peters said: "I don't think there's much to be done besides the steps we're already taking to deal with chemical and biological threats."

In other words NOTHING.
