Given what we know about Saddam, he is not a person to trust with weapons of mass destruction either - he should have been killed off during the Gulf War.
Your logic is lacking. I don't know how or why you came to hold onto a militant anti-war position, but it defies reason and logic.
Oh by the way, the right is poised to win elections in Germany, just won on the Netherlands and Israel, and even Labour's lead over the Tories has dropped to just 4 points. So nothing of what you say is coming to pass.

There's third and fourth options, amigo.
For starters, surely Saddam can be Tomahawked, without the uncertainty of a ground invasion? I've been around long enough to know that once a war starts you can expect the unexpected. And this war is coming at the wrong time in the US political cycle. By 2004 it'll be too late to advance our agenda without giving the Dems a 'heartless Republicans' free kick, and any Iraq creds will have receded in the public's mind.
