People like you and your type existed in the French military in the 1930's. They thought that Hitler could be managed and would soon be gone. Look where it got then in 1940. Iraq represents the same threat as Germany did in the mid 1930's. However in todays world one does not need a large army to harm a great deal of people. With WMD's of various kinds a country like Iraq can by using third parties affect the free world greatly. Look to history and you will find that free people who ignore threats live to regret their inaction. I realy doubt some of your claims in your background when you make some of your statements. I am also a Vet who served several years in the USN. I have looked at Soviet guns pointed right a me and have watched Soviet fire control radar tracking my ship on ESM gear more times than I can remember, I am fully aware of what could happen when we attack Iraq. I know service men and women could be killed. But it is the chance we all take when we take the oath and put on the uniform of our country. We all signed on to defend the USA and the threat of Iraq and its leadership is a clear and present danger to our nation. Hoping it will go away or like the EU hoping that talk will solve the problem is misguided.

GOD BLESS AMERICA!!! ON TO BAGHDAD!!! DEATH
TO SADDAM!!!

Iraq is no clear and present danger to the US. That is a ludicrous statement with no factual backing whatsoever. Saddam Hussein has no capability to attack the US and has indeed never threatened to do so. Contrast this with North Korea and Communist China who have threatened to nuke us and Iran which has compared George W. Bush to Adolph Hitler and who actually helped to found Al Queda in the first place. Now those are the countries we should be invading. However, I doubt that your blind Rambo invade Iraq mentality extends to invading those countries despite the fact that each and everyone of them presents a far more dangerous threat to the US than puny Iraq.
