North Korea and Pakistan have them. Lybia might be about to. Those regimes aren't exactly stable. They dang sure don't love Americans. Is Iraq just #1 on a list? Are we Americans ready to scour the earth of despotic regimes that have...or are about to have WMD? Is this our purpose? Are we ready to carry the load and pay the price? These are valid questions. This might be a slippery slope. e
First of all, Iraq has a recent history of using WMD. Second, we fought Iraq ten years ago and they haven't been in compliance with the cease fire agreement for years. Third, and most importantly, your argument is a very old and tired one. Many people often use excuses in order to avoid doing something that is necessary. Are there others who need to be dealt with? Yes. Can we take on everyone at one time? No. You have to pick your battles? The real important question for you is if we decided to go after all of the countries you just named would you support the action? The answer is an obvious no. You are simply using this argument to support your viewpoint that we should not go to war.
