Re: Inspections won't work.

<See, if the goal were to uncover and eliminate WMD, inspections would work. A country the size of Iraq, economic and developed size, would find it hard to maintain a large program with other folks running around, looking here, there, watching for fund transfers, electrical power usage, checking freight shipments.

Okay, this is your first assumption, and it may be wrong.

If Saddam agrees to inspections with no restrictions it can mean only one of two things:

A. He does not have programs to develop WMD and never did.

B. He has such programs, but after years unobserved to prepare and hide them, is confident we can't uncover them.

There is a logical option C: He has the programs but doesn't care if we find them, but this one doesn't hold up very well.

I'll leave it up to the studio audience whether A or B is the most probable.
