- Don't know what will happen to Iraq, but it won't be good - maybe Hussien is no real threat (I think he still is)

While bin Laden's name is being thrown around a lot, Hussein is clearly another possible instigator and likely a supporter. Iraq is certainly a threat in the region, as much so as it was before it invaded Kuwait. Perhaps moreso, as after a decade of military cuts we couldn't mount anything like Desert Storm. (Yes, I would blame the Clinton administration for it - but I would also note that Bush, despite campaigning for a strong military, hasn't done a hell of a lot in his nine months in office to change things.) (Cussing both lily-livered political parties.)
