Bottom line? Saddam hasn't had a year of peace since he's siezed power. He's been a threat to every country, both near and far, for almost a quarter century.
That inspection program was compromised by covert operations specialists using the guise of the ispections to evesdrop and target Saddam. Anyone would have (and should have) kicked them out.
I hope that when Bush does bring out the evidence out that it will be clear and convincing, not some put up farcical BS like the CIA's "noseclimb" video simulation of TWA 800.
