Well the best argument that anyone can seem to come up with is that Iraq has ABC (atmomic, biological, chemical) weapons, well do you know who else has ABC weapons? Isreal and South Africa both do, they had a join test of a VERY small device that they launched into space. It was detected by an aging cold war era satillite system that was put in place after the treaty banning testing of nukes in space.
South Africa claims to have destoryed there entire nuclear stockpile, Isreal still has theirs, though they havent declared it they have several undergroud factories and refineries. An isreali scientist was arrested by an isreali secret agent in Italy, the scientist fled after he found out what he was working on.
So really, the "We cant let stupid pople have nukes" argument it pretty much invalid. The current leader of isreal isnt much more stable that Saddam. And yet, they are our closest allies in the Mid-East.
Oh and guess why Iraq may have "The Bomb" France and the US BOTH sold "Fast-Breeder" reactors to Itaq in the 80's. These are the reactors used to make plutonium 
Talk abotu lack of foresight....
Have you actually read what the rest of us have posted in this thread? Or do you just look at the headline and make stuff up as you go?
The problem with Iraq is not only that they have B&C weapons, and they are actively trying to aquire nuclear capability. It is also that they are one of the largest terrorist supporters in the world. It is also the fact that their dictator, Saddam Hussein is a raving lunatic who has no hesitations whatsoever to use chemical or bioligical weapons on his enemies.
Now the combination of
insane dictator,
who is funding, organizing and supporting of some of the worlds worst terrorist organizations,
who is stockpiling biological and chemical weapons, and trying to aquire nukes,
who has no scruples against using any weapon against his enemies,
who has no second thoughts against attacking women and children using whatever weapons he has in his inventory,
who tortures, imprisons and enslaves his own people,
who is the self declared enemy of the western civilization in general, and USA and Israel in particular
who is actively working to achieve his goal of the complete annihilation of Israel and any supporters they have
can only be found in Iraq.
And there it must be destroyed, else it will (try to) destroy us.
