In the news lately is the "Fight Against Terrorism, Disarming Iraq." To me I think this is totally ridiculous. Don't get me wrong, I do not believe the Saddam Hussein is a great man and I definitely don't believe in dictatorships.

It is true that Saddam has provided support for terrorists in his region, particularly for those who oppose Israel, but there is just no convincing evidence that he has any connection to Osama or Al Qaeda.
