But, Doug, you mean that if there is a remote possibility that he might, we should go to war against him? Apply that same line of reasoning to all of the threats that we face and see how absurd it is.

Among other things, if Saddam indeed has a supply of anthrax or small pox or botulin or, for that matter, nuclear weapons, I can't think of a better way to guarantee that he would use them.

There are a lot better ways to go about neutralizing Saddam Hussein than to go to war. It's like the incompetent carpenter who only knows how to use a hammer. To him, every problem looks like a nail.
