...least for the moment, the sudden emphasis on Iraq has thrown politicians off their game. At county fairs in Nebraska over the August recess, Republican Senator Chuck Hagel was stunned to get almost as many questions about war as demands for disaster assistance against the drought. In Maine, Senator Susan Collins says, she was hearing about Iraq as often as about jobs and the economy. And at a retirement community in a Maryland suburb, elderly voters gave Democratic House candidate Mark Shriver an earful on Iraq before bringing up Social Security and the cost of prescription drugs. "People are confused...
Rolf Ekeus, the Swedish former director of the inspection team--officially, the U.N. Special Commission--has said those leftovers from before the Gulf War constitute a "marginal" threat.

Anti-abortionists and some religious groups oppose any research on human embryos and fetuses. It was pressure from these organizations that led the Bush Administration in August 2001 to limit scientists receiving federal funds from using anything other than a restricted set of approved stem-cell lines - a collection of identical stem cells that can be expanded for both research and transplantation. There are no such restrictions in Britain. "Bush has locked the U.S. into an earlier...
...that without effective inspections, without effective monitoring, Iraq can in a very short period of time measured in months, reconstitute chemical and biological weapons, long-range ballistic missiles to deliver these weapons, and even certain aspects of their nuclear weaponization program," he told PBS's Newshour in August 1998, shortly after his expulsion. He went on to argue that the only effective way to ensure Iraqi compliance with inspections was to threaten military action...
