I've simply gotta say....so what? Are we pussies now that this kind of shit is really supposed to scare us....or WORSE, cause us fear which spurs us to make really stupid decisions? Right now, there are probably dozens of unfriendly despots and governments working on biological labs and biological weapons......want to invade them all? I'll say what everyone else seems to be afraid to say: Yeah, Saddam was probably some sort of a nominal threat to the US, and yes, it's possible if we had not removed him that he could have found a way to weaponize this anthrax-like shit that he was supposedly working on...and it's theoretically possible that he could have decided to attack the American homeland with this new weapon..and it's theoretically possible that his attack could have been successful and killed some people, maybe even a lot of people. But that's a chance that was WELL worth taking, in my opinion, to avoid the disaster that has unfolded over the last 10 years in Iraq. So, here, something for your conservative bulletin board: YES, we should have risked thousand, maybe millions, of American lives and NOT invaded Iraq...because the chance that Saddam was really going to attack us with a WMD was so ridiculously small, that it really wasn't a risk at all.
