Frank Hamilton sounds like a reasonable person. I don't think dictators can be reasoned with. These inspections are a cat and mouse game. We know he has the stuff but we are too PC or afraid to use force to disarm him.

For all of the people claiming it is about Iraq s oil, why didn't we seize Kuwait's oil? We put out the fires in 700 oil wells that Saddam torched before their army was forced to retreat. Then we turned them back over to Kuwait.

Now Iraq has 1500 oil wells that we will likely have to put fires out. Saddam's is planning to blow the bridges, dams, power plants, water plants etc and say it is our fault. How can any one reason with a person like that?

We liberated the people of Kuwait from Saddam Huissein. We can do the same for the people of Iraq.

I think if the inspections do not lead to a resolution of war by the time the forces are ready to go, they should go. After the WMD's are found we will have the justification for having done so. The entire administration is staking their future on this and I wish them good luck.

Perhaps by this time next year the people of Iraq will be free to bitch about the government we can without fear.
