Unless action is taken against Hussein, the threat will always be there. It really doesn’t matter whether or not weapons inspectors are allowed to investigate every potential site or not. What about after the inspection in the event that Hussein bows to the demands of the treaty?

What is to prevent the man from getting right back in the business of producing the weapons? Must we guard every site from now until eternity, at least, the eternity of Hussein’s life?

Must Americans forever maintain vigilance against a man who would not hesitate to use such weaponry if he determined it was to his best interests?

I say ‘his best interests’ because I am certain most of his own people do not want to risk the toll of human life and property that would take place should major weapons of mass distruction be released on the world.

This is in spite of the fact that he would gain absolutely nothing by doing so just as any back-alley terrorists gains nothing from their acts of cowardice. All the result would be is the loss of untold thousands of human lives caused by a deranged mind which has confused religious philosophies with world politics and thoroughly misinterpreted spiritual leadership.

No, the answer to Hussein is a simple one. He, and all like him, must not be allowed to hold the world hostage. He must be stopped as must all terrorism.

How can he and people like him be stopped? Simple. Alleviate them.

Otherwise, we will be held hostage from now on by minds that have less than a strong hold on reality, minds that distort to their own purposes the religious teachings they profess to believe in.

And to be quite honest, Ladies and Gentlemen, the deaths of a few fanatics, even if it ended up being in the thousands, is well worth the millions of lives that would be saved.
