Here's some questions for Miss Silver and any other anti-war nutjob:

1. Do you believe that a confrontation with Saddam Hussein’s regime was inevitable or not?



2. Do you believe that a confrontation with an Uday/Qusay regime would have been better?


3. Do you know that Saddam’s envoys were trying to buy a weapons production line off the shelf from North Korea (vide the Kay report) as late as last March?


4. Why do you think Saddam offered "succor" (Mr. Clarke’s word) to the man most wanted in the 1993 bombings in New York?


5. Would you have been in favor of lifting the "no fly zones" over northern and southern Iraq; a 10-year prolongation of the original "Gulf War"?


6. Were you content to have Kurdish and Shiite resistance fighters do all the fighting for us?


7. Do you think that the timing of a confrontation should have been left, as it was in the past, for Baghdad to choose?


Here's another.

Say you live down the street from a slightly deranged man that has threatened you and threatened all your neighbors and that you believe has a large cache of weapons to use against you and any of those neighbors at the time of his choosing, now say you call the cops about his threats, they beat down his door...they don't find any weapons but they do find out that he had killed his entire family and buried them in a large mass grave in his basement, now would you consider it a good thing that he was stopped?
