re: Funnily enough...
"Your excerpt began with "dictator who is assembling the world's most dangerous weapons "
Imagine my surprise "
Saddam = dictator
Check!
Chemical, biological and nuclear weapons = world's most dangerous weapons.
Check!
After a intensive investigation we now know that Saddam was indeed assembing these weapons.
Check!
But I can imagine that you were surprised.
[Suggestion: to aviod being surprised you might try being more skeptical of news reports. Obviously, we now know that Saddam did not comply with his cease fire agreement {despite numerous Security Council resolutions and despite being given more than a decade to comply}].
