Head in sand? Welcome to bombs in bush...: A fascinatingly obtuse article in the Christian Science Monitor (Jul. 31) declares we should "do nothing" about Saddam Hussein and Iraq. Marc Lynch insists that: Iraq poses no immediate threat; has no weapons of mass destruction; and has no links to Al Qaeda. He claims that the U.S. will be more respected if it does not go to war.

Oh, and Saddam will be removed if he makes one wrong move. But if Marc's analysis is to believed, what on Earth could that "wrong" move possibly be? Would Marc even believe it without his European friends telling him it was true? And who the hell is going to remove Saddam if we don't, since Marc has already explained that we are the only ones agitating to do so?
