A few questions for those who support a preemptive invasion of Iraq: First off, yeah, I'll readily concede that Saddam is surely one of the "bad guys" on the world stage -- but that's a pretty big crowd. Always has been, always will be.

Just because Chickenhawk Little in the White House is screaming "The sky is falling in!" is no reason to believe him, however -- since it's been proven eight ways from Sunday that he's lied to us continuously and repeatedly about the "dangers" of Saddam, and his "partnership" with Osama.

(Question: If a dozen hunters throw enough lead around the forest, and manage to drive both a bobcat and a snake up the same tree -- does that mean the bobcat and the snake are "cohabiting" up there? It's about as ridiculous as what Colin Powell has been nattering about the past week -- Osama's tape calls Saddam an infidel, and asks the Iraqi people to OVERTHROW HIM! Does that mean there's a "linkage" between Osama and Boy George?)

So what's Saddam got that Kim Il Sung (of N. Korea) HASN'T got? (Hint: It's one word, and it rhymes with "linoleum.") And why aren't we going after Kim first? (Answer: Because he can actually fight back -- with nukes.)
