This whole Iraq weapons issue is a red herring IMHO. After 12 years of crippling sanctions their economy is a shambles, hundreds of thousands have died, and their military is much weaker than in 1991.

Bush wants to attack Iraq because it is weak and because of its huge oil reserves -- not because of any "threat" That is why so many oppose such a war.

Note how the Bushies back off from confronting North Korea which --unlike Iraq -- has a very strong military.
