I was thinking of the various islamist jihads being prosecuted worldwide...I won't bother to mention Iraq; you've been so focused on Bush-bashing that you won't belive they're a threat until there's a mushrooom-shaped smoking gun.

Oh, dear! He "snubbed the UN outright", did he? I'm shocked. Considerig how nice everybody there has been to us.
What a load of crap.
He *came to the UN* and told them that he considered it to be critical to confront the continued Iraqui contempt and duplicity about the WMD inspections and challeneged them to do something about it--while indicating that he was prepared to act unilaterally.
Hussein *loves* playing the diplomatic game. It never fails to leave him free to do exactly what he wants, while always providing ample time to do it. Perhaps you're satisfied to wait until there's a sick old gangster deep in one of his German-built bombshelters lovingly topped with civilians, deciding he might as well go out with a bang.
