No, I'm not missing it. But somehow I find your assurances on this point..well...less than reassuring, no matter how many times you repeat them. It's all well and good for you to sit there buying freshman textbooks a hemisphere away and lecture us on what you think is in Saddam's national interest.
We were at war with this bozo not all that long ago. Since then he's refused to abide by the agreements that saved his ass, he lies through his teeth constantly, and he's *got* WMD and is developing more as we speak.
If you think he wouldn't sell them to an organization that has *proven* they can deliver them anywhere they please against his enemies, despite all the weltpolitik cant you've taught yourself to dispense, you're still pretty naive.
Failing to close him down completely last time around was a big mistake, comitted in the hopes of pleasing largely uninvolved third parties like yourself. And if he *does* sell/give WMDs to alQueda or the like, and they use them, we'd end up spending the next six months playing the same game of proving to the likes of you that they definately came from him, and then debating what should be done about it.
No, thanks.
