Just because there are worse enemies than Saddam that
does not mean we should not take him out now when it is
relatively easy. As a matter of fact it good strategy to deal
with your enemies when they are weak. Would you rather
waited until he has developed nuclear weapons ? Or used
his chemical and biological weapons against us ?

I don't care what the United Nations or other countries think.
We can decide for ourselves what constitutes a treat to the
US. Who would have thought that OMB was a big threat to us
before 9/11 ? But they launched the most deadly attack on
the US in modern times.

We need to take Saddam out for the following reasons:

1) We need to make a statement to the rest of the world
that can't mess with us with out suffering enormous
consequences. Especially after the 8 years of corruption
and weakness under Clinton.

2) Saddam is a threat to us and very well could attack us.
It would not be very difficult for him to smuggle anthrax
or VX gas into our country and then use it to kill 1,000's
or 100,000's of our people. It would be very difficult for
us to trace this back to him.

3) We fought a war against him, Americans died in that
war and we stopped the war and left him in power only
because he agreed to our terms to end it. But he never
complied with the agreement that ended the war. If we
can't resume the war to enforce the agreement that
ended the war then what is the point of have an
agreement that ends a war ?

4) We need to clear the decks and get ready to deal with
N. Korea. Another problem caused by Carter and Clinton.
You do remember that they signed an agreement with N.
Korea in which we gave them 6 billion dollars in
exchange for them stopping development of nuclear
weapons ? They just lied and Clinton let them get away
with it. Just the other day Clinton lied about this situation
when he said that he did not know they were cheating.
It was published in the paper back when he was president
and he did not do anything about it. He was worried that
it would hurt is reputation.

I can't see why people are getting so upset about us
removing Saddam from power. Do you think that he has any
right to be the leader of Iraq ? He came to power through
murder and torture and that is how he maintains his rule. He
is directly responsible for the deaths of millions of people
through wars that he started. His own people don't support
him. Look at how easily they surrendered in the Gulf war and
now.

About the only reason that might make sense is that the
people of Iraq will suffer. Do you think that they are not
suffering under the rule of Saddam ? He started 2 major
wars, both of which he lost with many of his people dead. He
has caused the suffering of the people of Iraq under the trade
embargo. He takes the money and food provided to feed
them and used it to maintain his power and gains a
propaganda point that the embargo is killing 100,000s of Iraqi
children. He also has the power to end the embargo by giving
up his WMD, but chooses to hold on to them.

The real effect of the anti-war crowd is providing aid and
comfort to Saddam. He sees the large demonstrations against
the war and finds a glimmer of hope that we will give up and
back down. The protesters by providing hope to Saddam are
partially responsible for causing this war.
