    Funny how the news goes these days. We are looking and looking for evidence that Saddam Hussein is building a nuclear weapon, but can't find it. Meanwhile in the US, even the trees are radioactive near our nuclear weapons labs. Somehow, Saddam Hussein has enriched uranium from its 0.7% natural abundance of 235U to weapons-grade uranium with better than 90% 235U, and disposed of all his waste without creating any noticeable environmental radioactivity. Perhaps the US should employ Saddam Hussein to teach us how to run an environmentally friendly nuclear weapons program. Why couldn't Science, in the long run, serve As well as one's uncleared lunch-table or Mme X en Culottes de Matador?     James Merrill

    Its not about wmd's. Its about oil. Oil over the next few decades as supplies start to diminish. Imagine a life without plastic ? The west wants to be a stablising influence in the region , or to put it more bluntly it wants things run its way . The democracies of the west will not tolerate this , and so it is being wrapped up as a crusade against an idiot of a leader . I happen to think that the oil supply warrents this action , many others do not.

            If terrorists armed with box cutters could kill 3,000 in a morning, what might they do with nuclear, chemical or biological weapons? That is the question that has consumed the Bush White House for the past 15 months. Facing it has to mean facing Mr. Hussein, the only man who has actually used weapons of mass destruction in war.

              Right, which is why the US has embargos against oil-producing countries like Iran and Libya. Oh wait. That hurts your arguement, doesn't it? (Iran has as much oil as Iraq and the US doesn't buy a drop of it.) ------------------------------------------ "Isn't it funny how people say they'll never grow up to be their parents, then one day they look in the mirror and they're moving aircraft carriers into the Gulf region?" - The Onion

                              If terrorists armed with box cutters could kill 3,000 in a morning, what might they do with nuclear, chemical or biological weapons? If they can kill 3,000 people using box cutters, why they need to get nuclear weapons that are difficult to find and carry around? Facing it has to mean facing Mr. Hussein, the only man who has actually used weapons of mass destruction in war. Saddam used chemical weapons both in the war against Iran and aginst its own people in kurdistan. But this happened 10 yrs ago. And another country used mass destruction weapons in a war. -- Looking for a new screen-saver? Try FOYD: http://digilander.iol.it/FOYD

Yes, but I think that SH does not know how, exactly. He has to consult North Korea or Cuba about details. If they cannot help him, he can try with Libya, and finally, if it still does not work, Slobodan Milosevic(SM - SH) must be asked to solve the problem.

                                    Pakistan got most of its technology from China and North Korea whilst India has strong military relationships with Israel and good technological skill of its own. I criticized US support for Pakistan in the past, but I think that they have no responsabilities for the nukes and I never see articles or other documentation proving the opposite. P.S. the fact that I agree with you about history and US foreign policy has nothing to do with christmas :) -- Looking for a new screen-saver? Try FOYD: http://digilander.iol.it/FOYD

                                      Kant wrote: ...Mr. Hussein, the only man who has actually used weapons of mass destruction in war. I believe Mr. Hussein poses a threat and that there is enough moral cause to depose him without bringing nuclear and/or bio-chemical weapons into the argument. However, you do need to get your facts straight. The US dropped two nuclear bombs on Japan (causing fewer casualities than the conventional bombings and saving countless Japanese and Allied lives.) The participants in WWI used chemical weapons on each other to a devastating effect. That being said, Hussein has shown a fearsome callousness to human life in his use of bio-chemical weapons on his own people as well as on Iranians as well as the deliberate lighting of the Kuwati oil wells, which caused terrible harm to people and the environment. Add to that his glee in watching people being tortured and executed and you have, well, a psychopath.

                                        I can only assume you are implying that Pakistan got it's nukes from the US. There was a very large article in Scientific American a few years ago about Pakistan's and India's nuclear program. No, they didn't get them from the US. But, then, America is always guilty of any conceivable accusation until proven innocent, isn't it, Kant? ------------------------------------------ "Isn't it funny how people say they'll never grow up to be their parents, then one day they look in the mirror and they're moving aircraft carriers into the Gulf region?" - The Onion

                                          Yep. Twisting History to make it fit arguments is a least a shame, and should be an offense.
