I am still undecided. I am inclined to oppose it, not because I love Saddam, but because I am not convinced he had anything to do with 9/11. At this time, we need to be concentrating our energies on al qaeda. That means tightening the screws on the Saudi royals, Musharraf, Mubarak, Yemen.. but not Iraq.

But then there's the WMD issue.. which is what makes this so complicated. Part me of says Bush is making this up, so he can look proactive. Part of me is convinced Saddam really is a threat. Bottom line, I don't know what to think at this point.

You have the same instinct as everyone else on this site. Iraq has a less developed WMD program than any country surrouding it. Does anyone here believe that Saudi Arabia does not have it's own nuke progam right now? Iran does and even the Pro Iraq war Weekly Standard said so! Iraq is a staging ground for a larger presence in the region and for the long term. We are not leaving Bosnia or Kosovo soon. Nor will we leave Iraq either if we invade. But what is after that?
