Colin Powell has made the case for disarming Iraq. Everyone should read his message to the UN Security Council. The dodos won't vote to disarm him, IMHO. There is little recourse. I believe the air campaign will be well underway by March 1. Unless Saddam decides on another course of action he and his regime are dead meat. Too bad it must be this way.
Please, pacifists, tell me your solution to this scourge.
"We know that Saddam Hussein is determined to keep his weapons of mass destruction. He's determined to make more. Given Saddam Hussein's history of aggression, given what we know of his grandiose plans, given what we know of his terrorist associations and given his determination to exact revenge on those who oppose him, should we take the risk that he will not someday use these weapons at a time and a place and in a manner of his choosing, at a time when the world is in a much weaker position to respond? The United States will not and cannot run that risk to the American people. Leaving Saddam Hussein in possession of weapons of mass destruction for a few more months or years is not an option, not in a post-September 11th world."
