If the congresscritters are genuinely worried about "weapons of mass
destruction" tell them to do something about North Korea. If they genuinely
want to "do something about Saddam Hussein" tell them to put UN troops in
there,  *not*  American troops, so that the troops can be Muslims and that
way Muslims can get Hussein under control. Otherwise we not only have
another Vietnam, we have 2 billion Muslims world wide gunning for our tender
little Western hides. They hate Saddam too, but they hate having us on their
turf even more (by us I mean Westerners of whatever ilk). This affects the
lives and futures of all of us and our kids, daughters as well as sons. A
desert Vietnam gets going and any of us with kids over 10 and under 30 will
be facing what parents went through in the 60s.
