"Colin Powell is asking us all to take quite a big leap of faith ... to believe these assertions are proof that Iraq is producing weapons of mass destruction"
I find it quite insulting that these countries are so hesitant to "believe" us... when is the last time we colonized ANYBODY. Why the h*** would we make this UP???
What's worse is that some liberals admit that he's got the weapons, but insist containment will work.... while others insist there is no way of knowing.... while others couldn't care either way and America is just a big bully out to steal everyone's oil...
I can't wait until we finally just DO IT and people can stop slamming Bush from every made-up direction they can dream up...

Just for the record that's a quote from the Canadian Arab Federation not the government.
" Foreign Affairs Minister Bill Graham said today that U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell made a convincing presentation to the UN Security Council suggesting that "Iraq seems to be trying to fool" UN teams searching Iraq for caches of forbidden weapons. But, Graham added, Canada will await the decision of the council later this month before deciding on a course of action."
I see this as a positive step. The problem's seriousness is recognized and allows the U.N. prove its relevance. I have little doubt that Canada will climb onboard regardless of the final U.N. action/non-action. But it's a pity the government doesn't take a more vocal hardline against Hussein now, the best chance for a peaceful solution is unity among many countries all applying real pressure on Hussein and his regime.
