today's new ultimatum

["Devine, James" <jdevine@xxxxxxx>]

from the SLATE "Today's Papers" column:> all the big US newspapers featured
>President Bush's comments that the Saddam Hussein should let weapons
inspectors into Iraq. And what happens if Saddam balks? "He'll find out,"
said the President.  Bush also said that any country "that develops weapons
of mass destruction that will be used to terrorize nations," will now be
granted
terrorist status. He has never mentioned this criterion before. Still, Bush
said he wasn't changing positions. "Have I expanded the definition?" he
asked.  "I've always had that definition, as far as I'm concerned." <

let's see. What country, located in North America, developed and now harbors
the largest arsenal of weapons of mass destruction in the world? what
country has actually used them and has threatened to do so again on several
occasions? what country, besides Iraq, also refuses to accept international
inspection?
