WMD? Even the UN said Iraq had WMD's. What will we have to find (it wont take a week to find things, it will take months, so all the anti war people just hush and wait and see) to prove that they had WMDs? Is there a sliding scale for weapons? If Iraq has radioactive materials that can make a dirty bomb, how much material will make the nay-sayers happy? Is Bio weapons enough to be WMDs? Well if its Small Pox and similar items, maybe that wont be enough since people can still get small pox. Anthrax? Probably not since it was developed by the US (and Russia?). My point, no matter what is found, it will never be enough for the nay-sayers, they will say..."oh BUT you didnt find XXX" (and I don't mean porn, hehe).

Nation Building? My opinion of nation building would be making Iraq another state of the US, and that will never happen. BUT, if nation building is getting rid of a guy that kills millions of his OWN people, jails children ect... then I am for it. We do have to pick our fights though, and force is not always the way to go. I still contend that Saddam didn't give us any choice, after 12 years we finally drew the line and then backed up the consequence. I am sure Saddam felt that he could keep dragging his heels and never thought that Bush and the Coalition would follow through. They did, and now other nations are thinking, "Uh ohh...". That is also a positive, though the nay-sayers don't see it that way. Some people will only respond/respect strength. In some cases we (the US) stopped carrying the "Big Stick", I don't think we need to use it all the time, but if we do once and a while it does make an impression. I remember when my father gave me a spanking, he only did it once, and that is all he ever needed to do, I got the idea.

I have thought of Cuba and Castro during this time, the only reason we wouldn't do to Castro that we did to Saddam, is that Castro sat back and never was a threat to the US (other than the missile crisis). Arguably you can say that Cuba don't have oil, true, but Castro didn't go out of his way to support terrorism (well, like Saddam did).

NK? I think China will become involved to the point of stifling NK. The Last thing China wants is the surrounding free countries to start Nuking-up to counter the NK blustering.

Just my thought so far...
