China is a threat to the US. Are we talking about going to war with them? There are lots of threats to the US. The question is whether he is an immediate threat to the US.

Gassing his own people: the Kurds are *not* his own people, they merely live in territory he controls. Take a look at how Turkey is dealing with this very same ethnic group -- do you hear us complaining to the Turkish government about it?

I don't believe Saddam is supporting terrorism, though I can be convinced otherwise and have heard some evidence that makes me think that he might be, but nothing conclusive.

The election in Iraq: Lots of nations do the very same thing, including Pakistan, which is our supposed ally in our War on Terrorism.

Going back to DU: Maybe you should take a look at how long I've been here -- longer than you by far, and longer than DU (which I've never been to) has been around.

Eventually we'll have to deal with China.

Their not his own people so we'll just dismiss what he did because Turkey is being mean to them too?

Let me know when you get convinced. I'd like to know what it takes.

Since lots of other nations force their people to vote for someone they don't want, that's another thing we'll let Saddam slide on?

You haven't learned much here have you?
