Here's an interesting article I found on cnn.com :-).. My opinion is, that I agree alot with what McGovern says.. what do you think ?

quote:

WOODRUFF: President Bush says it is clear that Saddam Hussein is a threat to the United States and that's why he needs to be disarmed sooner than later. MCGOVERN: You know, I think most people would agree that had it not been for that 9/11 attack, we wouldn't even be here talking about Saddam Hussein. The irony of that is that he had nothing to do with that attack. Iraq had nothing to do with it. This was Osama bin Laden's work. He was the mastermind. He planned it -- and his al Qaeda network, that little band of desert radical young men that he's assembled. So I don't see the connect between that and this march to war in Iraq. I disagree with the president. I don't think Iraq is a threat to the most mighty military power in the history of the world. WOODRUFF: But the administration -- the president argues -- and I know you've heard this argument, because he's made countless speeches about it -- is that 9/11 changed everything. Before 9/11, the United States could count on containing Saddam Hussein. It could count on him staying in his box, so to speak. But since then, the fear is with these weapons of mass destruction -- chemical, biological, and nuclear -- he'll either use them on the United States or the region, or give them to terrorists who will. MCGOVERN: I agree with former President Carter, who said the other day it's ridiculous to think that Iraq would attack the United States knowing that they'd be incinerated in a matter of hours. Any country that attacks the world's most powerful nuclear state is going to go down. There are nine countries that have nuclear weapons. No one of them would attack us knowing that we have overwhelming preponderance of power there. WOODRUFF: Isn't their point that Saddam Hussein is irrational, that that may be a rational argument for you and someone else, but not for somebody like Saddam Hussein? MCGOVERN: If we're going to go after every irrational person around the world, we're not going to have enough soldiers left to feed the wars that will erupt. I want to make one thing clear: I don't enjoy criticizing the policies of my government. I love this country more than life itself. And that's why I came here today, as I have other places: to try to plead with our leaders to not drop an American army into that Middle East tinderbox. The consequences of that are almost beyond imagination. I remember after Winston Churchill tried to talk our leaders out of going into Vietnam, we said we have information that the Communists are doing this and doing that. He said, "The only thing certain about a war is that nothing is certain about a war." I tremble at the consequences of putting an American army into that area. I think it's going to inflame the whole Arab world, and doubtless many other countries. And that's what we don't need right now. WOODRUFF: But what about the president's argument, senator, that if nothing is done now, that these terrorists at some point are going to get hold of these terrible weapons and the terrorists don't care: They just hate the United States, the argument goes, and they'll use them against the United States. And we don't -- the argument is -- we're not going to wait for that. MCGOVERN: That's a danger that we have to guard against. But you know there are nuclear weapons for sale. I'm not going to go into all the countries capable of selling them. But certainly, Iraq is low on the list. There are countries that have had these weapons for many years who are in economic trouble who could use the proceeds from the sale of those weapons. Also, we don't have any monopoly on science. Other groups are capable of copying, at least on a primitive scale, what we have done. Even as you and I sit here today we have some of the world's best arms experts combing Iraq from stem to stern, looking for evidence. WOODRUFF: The U.N. inspectors? MCGOVERN: The U.N. inspectors. They say they need more time. What's the big hurry? You know, Lyndon Johnson once said, somewhat ruefully, during the Vietnam War, it's awfully easy to get into war; it's awfully tough to get out. What is the rush? Why don't we give these arms inspectors -- there are several hundred of them, I guess, that are in Iraq, and they did a great job right after the Gulf War 10 years ago of destroying large numbers of weapons. Let's give them a chance to operate here, before we decide to go to war.
