Considering Saddam and his KNOWN ways,it would be insane to think he
complied with the UN resolutions.

Unless one is just a Bush-hating,America-hating person.

*All* nuclear reastors make Plutonium. That's how you get it. It's not a
naturally occurring substance.

The idea that Russian reactors make more of it is as daft as the idea that the

Of course it's self limiting.
Where's Franco's Fascist Spain? Where is the USSR? What happened to
Mao's China? Not to mention all those S American dictatorships you did
your best to prop up. Remember the military dictatorships of Greece and
Portugal? etc etc etc
