Avoiding confronting Iraq = Iraq continuing weapons of mass destruction developement = Eventual use of these weapons against Israel = Israel responding in kind = The worst case of human death, suffering and destruction the world has ever known. Yes, it really is that simple.

I think this line of reasoning is plausable. All I ask is that Bush make such an argument and support it with some evidence. I'm not a lawyer, for Christ's sake; I don't need reams of evidence. A few pictures, a few statements from Hussain, maybe a video of something Not Nice being aimed at Israel, just *something* convincing.

There are more than several "not nice somethings" aimed at the US from China,yet Bubba Bush grants China PERMANENT "Most Favored Nation" trade status. Think maybe the fact that his family (Prescott Bush) is in business with the fascists that runs China may have anything to do with that? Why aren't you calling for the USA to go to war against China? Or would they have to have "not nice somethings" pointed at Israel before you would do this?

These two give a practical and a logical reason for the coming actions.

I agree that charging blindly and on assumptions, risking thousands, if not millions of innocent lives would be foolhardy and not in mankinds interest. I have a gut feeling, however, that something terribly sinister is going on behind Saddams veil and people in the know are quite aware of this. This could turn out to be a "damned if you do, damned if you don't" situation. Let's hope we make the right decisions. Regards.

Hard to publish that stuff without Hussein knowing what we know. there was a thread about this the other day...or at least an article, not sure if anyone posted this, I'll look. In the meantime go here to read what Iraq does have:
