This is where the article is completely wrong. Iraq is a threat to not just the US, but the entire world. I hope the thought isn't so myopic to believe that because he doesn't have ICBMs, that he isn't a threat to us... he will get them. And he will use them.

Question: Which is a bigger threat to the USA and the rest of the world -- Iraq or China? State your answer in 500 words or less.

Helpful Hint: The correct answer to the above question is China. And it is only 100 times more of a threat RIGHT NOW than Iraq could ever, ever be.

The author of this article has an excellent point - Saddam is totally and completely secular. He is more of a Don Corleone (sp?) than an Osama Bin Laden or even an Adolph Hitler. In other words, he's just a bully; yet a bully who's very interested in self preservation.

There are about 10 or 20 countries I would love for us to wipe-out above and beyond Iraq, including (but limited to) Cuba, North Korea, and France. I would also include the psuedo country of Palestine, just because I'm so sick of their whiny little behinds.

You heard it here first: there will be no attack against Iraq, unless Saddam forgets his table manners and does something completely stupid...it could happen...

Iraq. China is too busy making money from us to be a threat. This insane notion that because we do not go to war with China or other dictatorships is a transparent attempt to not go to war under any circumstance. Why Iraq? Because we have been in a state of war since the start of the Gulf war. They have continually breached the cease-fire agreement and are rebuilding both their conventional forces and WMD. So take your straw men back to Ramsey Clark and try again.

At this moment in time, I'd say Iraq. In the long-term view, I'd say China.

Oh, and I love your idea about taking out France!
