I disagree. War is not the same as crime. I believe the administration knows more than it is telling. Either way, waiting for Saddam to do something (when that something could cause a large number of American casualities) is no longer an option.

Like it or not, their are some in the middle east who have declared war against us. Saddam may or may not have had direct hand in WTC, but he is providing financing for terrorist groups.

Not doing anything (other than warning him) will not stop terrorism against this country. Taking out the source of finacial aid, and base for operations will.

So by that logic, we have to take out every regime that has the capacity of harming us. Good luck.

I have not seen any reports or evidence that he's financing Al Qaeda. He finances homicide bombers in Israel, but that's Israel's problem, not ours. If you have any evidence that he's financing anti-American terrorists, I'd love to see it.

Whoever said it would? It would stop him from attacking us because he knows he would be history if he ever did it.

Taking out the source of finacial aid, and base for operations will.

If you think taking out Saddam is going to stop terrorism, I've got a bridge to sell you.
