A Slight Overreach

It appears that Saddam is taking Hans Blix's report to the UN Security Council to a little bit of an extreme. Blix was fairly generous to the Iraqi despot, saying that there was concrete movement towards disarmament (I disagree, but that's not the point of this rant). Saddam is trying to spin this into convincing people that he has not only disarmed, but that he has done enough to justify lifting sanctions! He also expresses a desire to protect his fellow Arabs by demanding the immediate disarmament of "the Zionist entity." It is so quaint to see him supporting disarmament of Israel as Iran finishes a uranium enrichment plant.

Of course he want us to destroy our WMD right after the Israelis. Fat chance. The theory of MAD was insane, but stable. Everyone knew that there was no chance of either side actually using their WMD. I feel safe going to bed tonight knowing that the Russians still have WMD. Why? They know how to responsibly care for and respect them. Just like the US. There are only two nations right now that seem to have absolutely no respect for WMD - Iraq and North Korea. Perhaps if either tyrant was stable or reasonable, we wouldn't be having these discussions right now.

We obviously need to get a better handle on Afghanistan, they seem to selling some really good opium to the Axis of Evil. It's the only explaination I can come up with for the sheer stupidity that the Axis has been displaying lately.
