Thank you, Nicole, for providing those links that point out specifically what Saddam is SUPPOSED to do. Neither of those sources report WHAT he is doing.

If you are relying on the three Congressmen who just returned from Iraq for your information on how the Iraqi people feel about Saddam, well, I just don't know what to tell you. You cannot be naieve enough to believe that they were given unfettered access to the citizens of Iraq do you? I note that you have no comment about that portion of my post. I cannot imagine why. After all NPR is the darling of folks who share your POV of things political.

Most of you keep insisting on getting "more information" from the administration. Were they to supply it you wouldn't believe it.
