I think that's what we are all hoping is the case and, until someone has something convincing or we act in opposition to it, I'm going to believe.

100% Exactly.
What's more, it's his job under the Constitution.

Gee, this Canadian GETS IT!!! How many Americans don't get it?
Depending on weather patterns, great chunks of Ontario, quebec and Atlantic provinces are downwind of Chicago, Detroit, NYC, Boston, etc. That makes them liable to whiffs of bio and nuke clouds. They probably haven't thought of that yet...

If terrorists armed with box cutters could kill 3,000 in a morning, what might they do with nuclear, chemical or biological weapons? That is the question that has consumed the Bush White House for the past 15 months. Facing it has to mean facing Mr. Hussein, the only man who has actually used weapons of mass destruction in war. Well, that's part of it, but not nearly the main part. Think about it: now that Afghanistan has been neutralized, who are the three biggest supporters of anti-Western terrorism in the world?
I would say Iran, Syria and Saudi Arabia.
Each of them shares a long border with Iraq. Once we occupy Iraq, we have all three within a very short reach of a substantial American force. Iraq is a pawn (OK, maybe a bishop) that just happens to be sitting on a very useful square.

I dont think anyone hear would disagree that Sadam Hussein is a threat...
or that if you want to kill a snake "it would be prudent" to cut off its head
Its when one is dealing with a hydra that one must be more vigourous

About 75 per cent of the public in France, 54 per cent in Germany and 44 per cent in Britain think it's "all about oil." For them it is all about oil. Where would France get its oil otherwise? What these countries are afraid of is being more beholden to the USA. After Bush opens a case of Texas whoopass on Iraq, these countries will have to deal with the USA in one form or another for their oil.

A slight correction:
"Mr. Hussein, the only man LIVING who has actually used weapons of mass destruction in war.
To which I toast President Truman, who did the right thing.

Why is George W. Bush so determined to get rid of Saddam Hussein? There are all sorts of popular theories, none of them very flattering to the President -- and none very convincing, either. Indeed. If only all those wacky nay-sayers were smart enough to sharpen up their Occam's Razors.
