Saddam hasn't complied with UN resolutions for 10 years. What do you think the missle raid on Bahgdad was? He has chemical weapons. That alone should have been enough for his ousting. He's decived, tricked, and been entriely uncooperative since the late 80's. It's amazing that he wasn't tried for convicted for war crimes after Kuwait. He's an evil man.
In my personal opinion, anyone who thinks that we don't have enough evidence or that Saddam shouldn't be taken from office is being a tad niave.(no offence). France is just being a serious pain. They argue the opposite on basis of mattering. (if that is a word) They still see themselves as a major world power. That is a bygone era for them since WWII. Like this article that I read a few days back; France will eventually agree to support the war effort because the US will go for it regardless of what they say. The US going against that wish is an open admittal to them being unimportant. So they will agree. For them, "it matters to matter."

Promote Peace! Viva la Evil Power-thirsty Dictators!
