You know as well as I do that Iraq poses a clear and CONSTANT direct danger to Israel. MOST of the Arab/Muslim states do. I can't think of anyone better suited to take down Saddam or anyone having more justification. WE, on the other hand, appear to be more bent on "Nation Building," or empire building, to the detriment of our direct war on terrorists. Therein lies the difference. I tend to very much agree with Dr. Paul on this.

IF (and given the hysteria right now, it's a BIG IF) there is full and reasoned debate on the subject and the motivations are correct and precedent is not established, then I would have little or no heartburn about taking Saddam Insane down. BUT NOT UNTIL THEN. Right now, though, Congress seems to want to give Dubya ITS powers to declare war. That is wrong and ill-thought out.

What makes you think that the presidents reason for removing Sadaam from power is Nation Building or empire building?? That was the reason for Haiti and Bosnia, but it's not the case here.
