Bush says he respectfully disagree with those who say peace is the answer. It's not much, but it's something. There are many people who disagree without any respect for those who oppose war.
He's trying to get a new UN resolution passed. That's also somewhat of a good thing. Whatever we do, we need world support. Of course, Bush may just send troops in anyway.
Russia and China are opposed to war now and are pushing to allow inspectors to continue their work. That's also a relief, from the standpoint that one theory had China and Russia were hoping to get us drawn into a war (see: North Korea), so they could gain the upper hand.
There's talk about giving Iraq a specific time-frame to comply with inspectors. But nobody can prove they haven't complied. I feel there is only one choice (according to international law): keep inspectors at it, and take action if they find anything.
If we believe Hussein is hiding something, then we must take action right now - no "time-frame."
Should Hussein be barred from having chemical, biological or nuclear weapons?
If he should be barred from having them, what actions should be taken against him if he is found to have some? What actions should be taken to prevent him from getting them?
Do you believe he'd use them if he had them?

shower no leak
Feb. 18th, 2003 11:24 pmThey screwed something up at the factory. There was a piece of plastic stuck in there that was crossing an o-ring. This created a path for water. Funny, it says "factory water tested" on the box.
But I've discovered another leak. The shutoff for the toilet has a small leak. I'm not sure what to do about this one, except to shut off the water and turn it on only long enough to take a shower. PitA. That is only for the next couple of weeks, until I get the floor put in. I don't want to put a new valve in, only to take it out then.
