America Strikes Back: Looking Ahead
The Heritage Foundation circa October 8, 2001

Couple the issue of international terrorism and rogue states acquiring weapons of mass destruction.
In deciding the sequence of action against terrorist-supporting states, we should start with those that are developing weapons of mass destruction (WMD). Terrorism and WMD are a very deadly combination. We should consider any terrorist-supporting country with WMD as posing an unacceptable risk for the security of the United States. At the top of this list is Iraq, which most experts believe is still trying to acquire nuclear weapons. A nuclear-armed Iraq would be a sanctuary not only for Saddam Hussein’s evil deeds but any terrorist he may wish to harbor. Any WMD Saddam may develop could either be used directly by him or any terrorist he may wish to support. We should be flexible and imaginative in the means and timetable we use to remove Saddam from power, but we cannot be completely safe from terrorism so long as he controls Iraq.

Begin the diplomatic preparations for a campaign to remove Saddam Hussein from power.
The President needs to make the case that the world could never be safe from international terrorism if Saddam Hussein develops weapons of mass destruction. He should begin an educational campaign showing the consequences of Saddam’s acquisition of nuclear weapons for world peace and stability. At the appropriate time, he should begin consultations with key allies in Europe and the Gulf in arranging their support for a campaign to remove Saddam from power. At the same time, work should begin supporting opposition groups that could take over power after Saddam is removed from power. Our policy should be to use any means necessary to remove Saddam from power and create a new government in Baghdad that respects the human rights of its own people, and does not threaten the U.S. or the world with weapons of mass destruction.

Killing Joke — Total Invasion
Now you listen to me
Just enough water
For a third of the world
Oil barons running the government
So I’ll start a war

We want your oil
We want your land
We’ll take your wealth
You’ll have much less
We’ll change your god to the bitch Goddess
