Action on Iraq is Inevitable
(Washington Institute for Near East Policy) Zalmay Khalilzad - The Saddam Hussein regime is determined to retain, expand, and again use weapons of mass destruction, not only at home, but also abroad. The administration is now determined to disarm Iraq one way or another. War is not inevitable, but action is. Our objective is to establish a broad-based representative and democratic government that will renounce terror and weapons of mass destruction, and become an example of peace and tolerance for the region as a whole.
