Like a yappy little dog Saddam spewed lots of rhetoric following 9/11. Among his favorites, "the skies will burn over the US and Israel, etc. The case for going to war against Saddam now involves lots of supposition, hypothesing, and guesses. There's also the Bush Factor: Bush 41 failed to "take out" Saddam. Desert Storm was the "shining" moment in the Bush 41 Presidency, with 90% approval ratings. "Remember the Magic"??.. What has not been provided is proof and a clear and compelling argument for attacking Iraq - now! A US war against Iraq must also be considered within the context of the current geo-political situation, and there's where the greater risk lies, imo. And as Americans we have to take our roll in the political process more seriously.
