When Is Enough...Enough?

Speculation rises about when, not if, America will invade Iraq and overthrow Saddam Hussein's repressive regime. But what will be the consequences of such an invasion? Experts are divided as the time for action draws closer. Is America asking the really hard questions in the unfolding war on terror?

It is suspected that Iraqi ability to produce chemical and biological weapons has been developed further along with the means to deliver these deadly weapons.

The fear of using terrorist groups to release smallpox, Ebola or anthrax over cities in Israel, Europe or even the United States is a possibility that sends fear through the minds of those who understand the devastation that could occur.

Nations in the region, which may well understand the extent of his power, seem unable or incapable of condemning, much less reacting to, such a destabilizing threat.

More than 20 years ago Israel struck preemptively against a nuclear reactor, where Iraq was attempting to produce fissionable nuclear material to build nuclear weapons.
