What part of "Saddam posses WMD" is not coherent. To me it is self-evident that Saddam must be deposed and we are the only ones to do it.

Saddam is a bad guy. No question. He has WMDs. Yes.

There are a number of other nations and tin horn dictators around the world that meet this same description. Is it in our national interest to perform a global shop cleaning?

There is no just war without a first attack or an immediate threat. If there is (and there may very well be) then Bush needs to make the case and we'll have at 'em. Otherwise, covert efforts will have to do for now.

Um, well maybe the spelling of "possesses" and the lack of a question mark.

If the possible nuking of the US is a trigger
to invade Iraq (Iraq has ICBMs?  I really
don't think so.), then shouldn't we be
going into Communist China first?  They
have already professed a willingness to
render Los Angeles livable again, if
slightly radioactive, and China has the
means to deliver.  No, Anne, Saddam's
phantom ability to nuke Manhattan isn't
a threat to the United States, any more
than Slobo's ethnic cleaning was.
We don't yet have any justification
for invading Iraq.  If you're talking
national interest, then the logical
people to take out Saddam are the Israelis.
