It would help if someone could show the Pope and the world's major nations what threat Saddam is since losing the war some dozen years ago. He has been bombed some 40,000 times without a plane being lost, been blockaded, inspected, and no-fly zoned. Recitations of his threat to the United States need something more current that a dozen years ago.

The Pope is saying that we are in the process of converting Bush's "Islam is a religion of peace" into a perpetual holy war for perpetual peace.

If Bush is right that Saddam is our threat then we will eliminate all the airport and other security precautions and get back to fixing the economy. If the Pope is right, we will keep them. We won't have long to wait to find out.

Bush has never ONCE said Saddam is THE threat; quite the opposite, he has repeatedly stated that the war on terrorism will be a long, ongoing process.
His one point that I disagree with is that this war will eventually be won. The war on terrorism will NEVER be over, as it only takes one disgruntled or misguided fool to launch a terrorist attack, even a very large one.

Very good point.
