And after this there is not a damned thing we can really do to prevent a nuclear attack here in the US.
In WWII when the Nazi's were ignored for so long there were people like you with the exact same argument. Then he invaded Austria and they still said since he was no threat to the US we should do nothing! What's it going to take? A nuke in NYC?

Comparing Iraq to Germany pre-WWII is extremely short sighted in my opinion, IMO. Two totally different countried and situations.
A group of men smuggling uranium to Iraq is not really anything to chomp at the bit about...yet. I would not be shocked to find out that Iraq already has Uranium.
While I agree we should nip the situation in the bud now, there are other options to stopping Sadaam from building Weapons of Mass Destruction besides war. How about some legit inspections for instance, instead of the half assed one they had before?
Do you honestly think another war is what our country needs? We still have one going on, and it's dragging us down economically and politically.
