I reckon Saddam bought the farm when he started paying off the
families of Palestinian suicide bombers.  This showed that he was
willing to support terrorists.  There was no reason to suppose that
such support would stop there.  As Bush said in his post 9/11 speech,
those who harbour terrorists will be held as accountable as the
terrorists themselves.  Saddam joined the "harbourers" with those
payments.  Bye-bye Saddam, Bush was true to his word.  It's good to
have a President who does what he says he's going to do, don't you
agree, Morrissey? 

I'm reminded of the old Star Trek episode where both Kirk and the
Klingon admiral wanted their respective fleets to attack eachother but
some damn politicians crafted a truce just in time. As the Klingon
captain said to Kirk when bemoaning the failure to join the battle,
"Think of the glory!".  Bush has destroyed Saddam's terror-supporting
regime and is trying for the glory of building a democratic Iraq.
Good for him.

But there is bigger "glory" in view.  Iran is close to building
nuclear weapons, and to the south, Saudi Arabia's Wahhabist regime is
the biggest source of terrorism that there is.  Will you be able to
stand the glory, Morrissey?
