If he were that insane I would agree. But I don't think so. I tend to doubt the assissantion attempt against Bush. It was avenged for under Clinton and anything he did is suspect (really- any action of the Clinton administration is just not believable on even one subject.) But even if so- and Sadaam is an insane freak hell bent on revenge. I still don't fear him or his regime- it would be over in a couple of weeks. What I fear is the fallour afterwards and a prolonged never ending US presence in Iraq and the Mideast.

Fair emough. But the president and many others (a majority of Americans) do fear Saddam's WMDs. Yes, there will liekly be a mess in Iraq. But better one that doesn't threaten millions of Americans than one that does.
