YOU MUST BE M.A.D.!

Hesiod makes a point about Bush's speech which should have occurred to me right on the spot:

Year after year, Saddam Hussein has gone to elaborate lengths, spent enormous sums, taken great risks, to build and keep weapons of mass destruction but why? The only possible explanation, the only possible use he could have for those weapons, is to dominate, intimidate, or attack.

He left out the most probable and obvious reason: to DETER an attack.

Of course, when you point that out, people start to wonder: "deter an attack from whom?"

And, after pondering it for a few moments, a little lightbulb goes on over their heads.

Amen.
