"I don't have time to parse the entire rant but I will say this:"
Bull. If you don't have time, don't reply. Thats like saying 'I don't have time to read the facts, but here is what I have to say'

"The left is making a Huge mistake by assuming that countries that have Nuclear weapons programs are more sinister than Iraq which apparently only has biological and chemical programs (and that in and of itself is a real stretch).

Biological weapons have the potential to kill many more people than nuclear weapons."

Libya, Syria and Egypt only have (in terms of documentation that I have seen)Bio/Chem WMD. Your argument is irrelevant and self-defeating.

"God only knows that if the wrong bug were created and released, We could see entire continents made devoid of human life: Imagine a genetically altered AIDS virus that is as contagous as the common cold."

You are preaching to the choir. No argument from me. Bad stuff. We are already seeing dial-a-germ techniques that can create a viable virus from a rhinovirus protein coat and a text-file DNA sequence.

Interestingly Libya has supported trrorist groups since the 60's, practically wrote the book on the crap... It HAS chem/bio programs, where is your zeal for war in this case? Hmm?

"What would you do if your child came home from school and said "Little Timmy sneezed on me today, and he's got the plague...""

Shit bricks. You want to argue the world is a dangerous place and getting worse? You wanna argue that real heavy stuff is waiting down the road? Thats fine. If you want to argue that attacking Iraq (instead of Libya, Syria....) has ANYTHING to do with averting that future, ANYTHING at all, then I don't see how you have a case.
