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.

We fear the past, present and future. we fear the unknown, we fear not having enough, losing what we have, not having what we want. we fear what will become of us and those that we care for. we fear what others think of us and what they don't think of us. we fear, fear, fear and therefore we are controllable through the manipulation of all that we fear. the present war on terror is the war of fear. no fear, no control.
