Teribus: I'm with you on the "hoping" side that all the huff-n-puff will bring about a *blink* on Saddam's part, at consider it possible.

The part of me that is less optomistic is Bush's need for more of a distraction for the American voters to keep his many failed policies from rearing their ugly heads.

I am also concerned about the huff-n-puff approach of the US in that the rest of the world may view it as bullying and bullying usually has its consequences, especially in a world where extremist are recruiting young folks to strap bombs on themselves and go out and blow u[p innocent folks.

I just think that the US is putting off the enevitable and that is a foriegn policy that is more inclusive and compassionate. Hey, everyone knows that we have a big stick. We don't have to wave it around.
