The threat that someone could do something some time?
That is the most ridiculous thing i have heard.
In that logic everyone should be fighting eachother.
I believe that is the type of thinking the world was trying to get away from, to avoid unnecessary wars.
That logic fueled the arms race. That was a not good thing. Study history, learn from our mistakes.
What do you mean by
Who is we? And what do we know? Does that include me?
Under what justification is that a reason to attack? Please Explain in detail.
The logic behind Saddam Hussein and WMD
If neigboring countries ( i.e. Israel) has nukes it would be to Saddam's advantage to have nukes. He does not possess nukes and has not ever. His own scientists have explained that they lied to him to allow him to think he could have nukes. Since Saddam never had nuclear weapons but a neighboring country does it would be at Saddam's advantage to bluff he has nukes to gain that respect.
If Saddam was a threat because he may possess WMD, why have we not attacked countries that we know have WMD?

Intelligence is not supposed to be probable. It should be definite and not the only tool used in determining whether to go to war.
War should be the last choice. Thus pre-emptive is unnecessary and againts American ideals.

The WMD arguement has been worked up to a froth by those who refuse to accept the inevitable and take action.

What is the inevitable?

If terrorists can commondeer 4 airliners and crash them into buildings while they are full of screaming civilians they certainly will have no qualms about aquiring WMD's and using them.

Oh what about the whole not scrambling fighter jets to escort the hijacked not commondeered airliners to the ground until authorization from the president. When authorization from the president is for confirmation to kill, not for scrambling the fighters jets. Scrambling fighter jets in this sitaution is what policy calls for.
Terrorists most likely would use whatever weapons at there disposal.
Saddam Hussien was not a terrorist, he was a brutal dictator as some have said on this forum.
The fact that they have not found any WMD is most likely because as David Kay said they dont exist. That was the justification of the whole war, it is quite relavent.
Since I focus on the justification of the war and the actual affects of the war and who benefits from the war i must not be seeing the whole picture.
Could you paint the whole picture with your words? So I can see it.
