JAM, you should always listen to FOX News with a grain of salt. Go to
http://www.fair.org and you'll see what I mean. In fact, all the news outlet should be taken with a grain of salt. As for Iraq hosting Al-Qaeda, there has been sighting of Al-Qaeda in the north, which is not controlled by Saddam but by the Kurds. Though I doubt the Kurds want Al-Qaeda there because they are trying to get their own homeland. The Kurds are based on the Norhtern part of Iraq and the Southern part of Turkey. Both countries has repeatedly massacre the kurds to the point where I honestly believe that a silence genocide is occuring. Only recently are the Kurds allowed to teach their children Kurdish language in Turkey. How's that for a democratic Turkey.
As for the WMD, I've read way too many contradicting report not only from media's all over the world, but also from intelligence sources from many nations, including the US. (I get cool stuff with my job, beside going surfing) I'm not saying that Hussein got to go, but it should be done with international cooperation. There must be a reason, and so far Bush and his cohorts hasn't convince me there is a reason. And I'm not the only one.
