NOTHING. Not now, not in the future unless:
1. Saddam attacks our country directly.
2. Saddam attacks our country through an intermediary. (builds a weapon and gives it to someone else to deploy against us.)
The entire Bush policy is based on the idea that we are no longer willing to sit and wait for the bombs to hit. You can take that or leave it, but I would dearly love to see a Democratic presidential candidate pledge to take military action if and only if Americans have been killed and U.S. property is destroyed in a future attack.
If Gulf War One had not taken place, Saddam would control Kuwait, and probably have gone on to other nations. In addition, it is a dead certainty he would have completed the nuclear weapons he was working on at that time, in a program that had been undetected until after that war.
If you think the world would be better off under that situation, fine.
