It no longer matters what Saddam did or didn't do. Its now all about what we do. One would have to be an idiot to not understand that.

        Is it political, or is it a business decision? - McFly - 5/5/2004 1:32:22 PM
        
        Some business. Mostly political. - Tom Brosz - 5/5/2004 3:42:51 PM
        
        It is a business decision. Look at how they report NASA stories. - REB - 5/5/2004 2:39:53 PM
