Yes, i think lots of people are eager to obtain weapons of mass destruction. but there's no evidence that he has weapons of mass destruction. there's been no evidence of him testing nuclear weapons. we have people that are in our face with nuclear weapons. we've got iran and north korea. we've got a problem with pakistan. you know, i don't know what to say about that. there's a whole lot of people that are going nuclear. and i think that saddam hussein is actually, with the evidence, the least able to use nuclear weapons and the least obvious offender in that area at this moment.

Poverty is a weapon of mass destruction. joblessness is a weapon of mass destruction, homelessness, a weapon of mass destruction... racism, a weapon of mass destruction, fear, a weapon of mass destruction. we must disarm these weapons and renew our commitment to quality public schools and dedicated teachers and good housing and quality health care and decent jobs and stronger neighborhoods.

If you allow someone like saddam hussein to get nuclear weapons, ballistic missiles, chemical weapons, biological weapons, how many people is he going to kill with such weapons? he's already demonstrated a willingness to use these weapons. he poison-gassed his own people. he used poison gas and other weapons of mass destruction against his neighbors. this man has no compunction about killing lots and lots of people. so this is a way to save lives and to save the stability and peace of a region of the world that is important to the peace and security of the entire world.

The threat of saddam hussein with weapons of mass destruction is real, but as i said, it is not new. it has been with us since the end of that war, and particularly in the last 4 years we know after operation desert fox failed to force him to reaccept them, that he has continued to build those weapons. he has had a free hand for 4 years to reconstitute these weapons, allowing the world, during the interval, to lose the focus we had on weapons of mass destruction and the issue of proliferation.

Bands who are in their early 20s today, they are living in their own time and they have a series of parameters they have to work around. ten years ago, our reality was spending a lot more time in obscurity before anyone really knew who we were. i don't feel like i have any real advice to give anybody who is starting a band today. as mike watt said, "you know, not everyone has the ability to be born at the same time." we wanted to be like r.e.m., but the reality is that 15 years after r.e.m. was putting out those records, the playing field had changed drastically as well.
