Inspections are not the answer. Removing Saddam Hussein and his terrorist infrastructure are. He is a ticking time bomb. We should not leave our national security up to the responsibility of an organization that has failed in the Middle East and an organization with a history of failing to act quickly.
Unfortunately, Bush put resuscitating the UN above American security. Now, we have to live with that decision.
Remember, it was Clinton who made "inspections" meaningless. Inspections under Bush have new meaning. This is the difference between "inspections" then and now.
