[The Great Satan]

Weapons inspections are meaningless, since enough weaponized anthrax to kill millions of Americans could already easily be hidden in a few jam jars anywhere in the 170,000 sq. miles of Iraq or the 6 million sq. miles of the USA. By shifting the debate to the subject of weapons inspections, Saddam wins. But Bush buys some time, also, while we try to build up some defense against the anthrax threat, so another couple of years or so of haggling over pointless weapons inspections might be what he has in mind, too.

Great point. We cannot count on weapons inspections, even if genuine and thorough. Instead, we need a government in Iraq that will not make or use WMM's.
