Having more years than most of you I was an organizer of the antiVietnam war protests in 1969. I am and was opposed to war as a means of economic expansion and political control. I have been opposed to this Iraq adventure also.
But
I happened to see an interesting hour on the History Channel "Saddam's Bombmaker" it was about the man who headed Saddams nuclear weapons program until he fled the country in 1994. His comments sent a chill down my spine. The essence is Saddam wants the bomb, was close to having the bomb before Israel destrroyed his reactor in 1987 and would have used the bomb against Iran in their war.
The chilling part is that Saddam will or does already have a weapon and will use it if he gets one. This message makes me wonder is the Bushies know something we do not.
Sometimes a prememptive war is not a bad thing when it can save millions of deaths. Just something to ponder.
