You think some loser in Iraq making a dirty bomb is this countries worst problem ? Haven't you figured out yet that every republican president in the last 30 years has has some type of "war" that kept the focus off their real agenda ? Are you still waiting for Reagan to win the drug war too ? G.W. needs to win a war or he wont be re-elected.
Nuclear bombs are not like what you see in the movies. Iraq cant make a Nuke and put it in a briefcase for smuggling into the country. Small nukes are made by countries who have mastered nuclear science. Iraq will be lucky to make a dirty bomb let alone a bomb small enough to be smuggled. Iraq is much more likely to accidentally set off the bomb in their own country and kill their neighbors.
The real problem facing this country is our failing economy but every time GW is on the news he is talking about terrorists. The people of this country feel the effects of our economy every single day. To the people who cant pay their bills or feed their kids that is more important than a war on terrorism. The WTC disaster hurt 2000 people, the economy is hurting 20 million people daily.

So by that logic, we should only deal with the worst problems and leave the minor issues alone? Iraq is a minor issue, but still needs to be dealt with. The surrender that Iraq agreed to during Desert Storm allowed for unlimited inspections by UN weapons inspectors. Iraq complied for a while, but then threw the inspectors out of the country. There have been no inspections since. Iraq has also decided not to recognize the no-fly zone also written into the surrender and frequently launches military planes which are promptly shot down.
They do need to be dealt with, but I don't believe there should be an extended military effort against them. Maybe some cruise missles and a couple of weeks of bombing. I don't really give a shit if we get Hussein or not. If we DO kill him, there are a few million other mustache wearing psychos to take his place. If he has no military and no research facilities, he won't be nearly the pest he is now.
