However, it seems to be that no one wants this Saddam person around. Even the other Arab countries indicate that, so perhaps the answer would be to have of all the countries get together, put in their best intelligence and swat personnel and go in and take the guy out, no war. But, what if Bush, Blair and some of the others are right and this man is a maniac and does have or will soon have nuclear capability and begins using it? And I do believe that there's overwhelming evidence that he's been funding suicide bombers and other terrorists. What do we do about that? Nothing?
