The limitation on the distance Iraq's missiles can go is less than the distance to Israel.

During Desert Storm, several Iraqi Scuds reached Israel. I measure the minimum range from the Iraq border to Israel at 225 miles.

I feel that Saddam's ability to put VX Gas into one of those missles might make Israel take drastic action.

This situation is frightening. The delays trying to get U.N. approval has been costly.

By the way, I hope that you know about our Rally for America in the New Orleans area (actually in Kenner) and are aware that the Rally for America will take place on Friday, March 21st from 6 P.M. til 8 P.M. at the Kenner Park, corner of Williams Blvd. and West Metairie (NW corner). This is part of a national effort on Liberty Weekend when Rallies for America will take place all over the country. Then pictures from the various rallies will be loaded onto a CD and sent to the military overseas to show that Americans DO support our troops! I hope that you can make it.
