What proof are people looking for exactly?The proof from inspectors that aren't allowed in the country,or when they are,are told where they can and can't go.The proof from the head of their nuclear development program who is working for the US and British governments because he's afraid of what Saddam will do with the huge stockpiles of chemical and biological agents that he has.The proof of nearly half of the agents we took from him last time we were there disappearing before we could get them out of Iraq.The proof that he launches missiles and fires anti-aircraft cannons at US and British planes patrolling the no-fly zones on a daily basis.The proof that he kills his own civilians just to make sure his weapons are in working order.The proof that 3/4 of the Iraqi citizens would remove him from office themselves if they had the means to do it.The only other proof I could think of is to let him get his grubby little hands on a nuke and launch it at somebody.Then everyone's going to be saying,there was all the evidence in the world this guy's crazy.Why didn't somebody do something sooner?Now because of the slow reaction time of the US and their allies we're looking at millions of civilian casualties and the guy still has tons and tons of chemical and biological weapons to worry about.

The fact of the matter is,there's going to be civilian casualties either way.So the real question is,do we let the UN dictate the numbers or Saddam(which I feel will be much higher)?After all he's the one setting up military bases in hospitals and schools,so who's really responsible for the civilian casualties that come from a war with Iraq?
