Heh, I don't see what the hesitation to attack Saddam is. Just because we had attacked him before and stopped half way, doesn't mean we should give him a break just because he "went silent" for a bit...
The government is lacking tact... and lots of it! We need to slip out deals to all who support us, stating that they'll get the best oil prices.
Wars aren't fun and games, they aren't little talent shows to flash your shiny toys and weaponry. What ever happened to strategy (and dear God, what of this "strategerie"?). The United States of America is THE powerhouse nation, no matter how hard politicians and little outsiders try to get around it.
I know, you're thinking I'm some patriotic fanboy who jumped off onto a tangent... so I'll get to the point:
Saddam is a threat. He was about 12 years ago, he is now, and he will be even larger of a threat in years to come if someone doesn't act now. Alliances like the UN are too large... it's why the United States has become static in growth, and why countries separate in the first place. Due to little disagreements for personal welfare, someone like Saddam is going to be permitted to be the next Adolph Hitler. And... Hitler didn't need "weapons of mass destruction" to do some damage. The threat is not the opponents weapons, but rather our self-caution.
As for the inspections, I find them completely unnecessary. *shrugs* I find it all quite ridiculous. We're just buying more time for Saddam while pushing positive messages through the press.
In World War II, the world's threat was Isolationism... and Japan saved us all by giving the States an eye-opener.
In World War III, it will be the UN. For all the good in the world, I hope Japan does something. Heheh, their oil prices are so high, I could see it happen.
Well, that be my opinion. May I only need to speak it once.
