Great article.  Thank you.  Very informative yet succinct.  While I certainly don't relish the idea of war, I firmly believe that Saddam must go, for the well-being of his people and the others to whom his regime poses a threat.  He has lied for so long and has not been held accountable.  Unfortunately, accountability will now have a higher price than it needed to.  Cooperation on his part, either now or in the past dozen chances, would have avoided all this.  He will not make a regime change easy, of course, therefore the need for troop buildup, even if they are not all used.  Rumors now say that many around him are working to remove him themselves, thus avoiding a war.  I think that would be great and pray it is what happens.

I  am positive that Ms. Rice, President Bush and others have far more information than those in the media or Hollywood.  If what we heard in the "news" and from celebrities (really, please tell me why I should pay more attention to their political views than those who actually are involved) was the whole truth and nothing but the truth, what would stop Saddam and others from using our own information against us?  There is more going on than we know and frankly, that is how it should be.
