Imagine

A lot has been said about whether we have seen enough "proof" that Saddam is dangerous.

Because I am a writer, allow me to analyze some of the imagery that is being tossed around in the media today. Specifically the image of the "smoking gun."

"We don't want a smoking gun. That means it's been fired already."

(Donald Rumsfeld)

"This time, a smoking gun will look like a mushroom cloud."
(Condoleeza Rice)

I include these examples to help you visualize the threat that we, as a nation face, from terrorists like Saddam Hussein.

Still don't get it?

Perhaps you are among those whose imagination (in that wonderful understatement from Bibi Netanyahu) "is not so acute." Because, as he says, "had al Qaeda posessed an atomic device last September, the city of New York would not exist today. Last week, we could have grieved not for thousands of dead, but for millions."

Imagine that.
