Agreements made at the point of a gun are rarely wholehearted. It wasn't the buildup which led to war -- Great Britain and France outgunned and outpositioned Germany until their betrayal of Czechoslovakia. War came because of what the Allies allowed Hitler to DO with his buildup -- to invade other countries with impunity.

If we would have stopped him when he was just building up that would've been good enough.

Beg you pardon, but if you look back, that WAS the start of WWII. That aggression was the casus belli -- the proper point at which the Allies should have acted, and at which they had the means to crush Hitler.

They should've had him in check in mid 30's when he was stock piling when Germany wasn't supposed to.

If Bush has the evidence, he will present it to Congress and our representatives will sanction the appropriate action...

He have to hold him to the agreement that was made after gulf war.

That is a very low threshhold to justify the invasion and occupation of Iraq. If President Bush seeks to topple Saddam Hussein, it will be to punish far more serious sins than mere breaches of the 1991 cease-fire agreement. Far more serious -- and involving imminent danger. The evidence will be presented to Congress, and our elected representatives will cast a fully-informed vote for the record.
