Yes, it is that bad over there. Been there, seen it.
I am behind Bush 110% and don't really worry what the UN will or won't do. Saddam is a REAL threat to world peace. Think about Saddam with weapons of mass destruction... Who will he target first? Not us... just a little nearby country called Israel.
I believe that Israel is the real target and Bush wants to stop Saddam for international reasons like preventing World War 3.
If Saddam hit the Israelies with a weapon of mass destruction he would be a hero to ALL muslims.
What would happen if the Israelies tried to stop Saddam? Have you ever read the books of Revalations?
It is going to be ugly and many will die. But if we stop a time bomb whose fuse ia already ticking it might be worth it.
For those who think Bush is a war monger stop and ask yourself why is he giving Saddam 48 hours notice to leave Bagdad?
This whole move to war can be avoided by pressure from his people or military to send him anywhere (outside Iraq) for good.
The people of Iraq have known and feared this man for way too long.

This is my 3 cents worth....
