The last two guys in the US figure it out

[Buff]

I'm not trying to make the case that Bush and his administration are competent, but I will say that I don't believe that Saddam abandoned his weapons programs. Everyone else in the world -- in his own neighborhood -- is feverishly trying to develop them, and he's just not interested? Or are we supposed to believe his hands were tied? He can funnel billions to the French and Germans and others in the oil-for-food scam, but he can't or doesn't want to build or hide any weapons?

Sounds naive to me. I think a more competent administration would have found weapons there -- unfortunately, this one gave Saddam more than a year of notice before going in, which is plenty of time to cover tracks, bury containers, hide shit, etc.

I'm very disilusioned about the capability of any politicians to protect us from people who are hell bent on killing us.

Luckily (for me, anyway) the terrorists seem to be targetting those areas which have the highest percentages of pacifists e.g. New York. It's my belief that pacifism in the face of murderous zealots is a self-correcting problem.
