Animal- By doing that you are demanding a tradgey to happen amongst the US, Canada or Britian. Maybe I am a war monger, but I would much rather remove Saddam before a terroist attack rather then after.
You said it your self, Saddam is Saddam. He has done it in the past, and you know the saying, history repeats its self. Whos to say he wont do it again?
Would yo instead rather wait for him too use nerve gas on Toronto then remove him now?
Doesnt it basily boil down to-
Whats wrose, hundereds of guranteed deaths, or thousands of poetential ones? Tough question isnt it? And isnt that the question we face.
Of course thats ignoring the deaths that have already been caused by Saddam Hussien. And ignoring the several UN resolutions he has ignored.

But why would he use nerve gas on Toronto? Okay maybe to do something about the Leafs, but ....
Basing a war on something that MIGHT happen is just plain wrong. It's akin to being guilty until proven innocent. Based upon something he's done in the past isn't justifable in my opinion, as every country has done grievous and horrible things to their own people as well as every other, but we don't wage war because of it. Slavery, Native Americans, the First Nations in Canada, the internment camps for Japanese in WWII, Hiroshima, Nagasaki...we've all done it. What do we do about ourselves for these crimes we commited?
