Matt, I dont' think the US is concerned so much about a direct attack on our soil from Iraq, but we just can't stand by and let these idiots be in the position to threaten any country wihtin striking distance. They're just too unstable. If you really think about it, the US, Russia, China, India, France, England and others that are allowed (put up with) to have nukes seem to have resonable heads of state. Do you consider Kaddafe, Sadamm, Kim, Castro and fuckers like them stable and reasonable? I don't.
