President Bush developed a coherent military strategy and political coalition to defeat the aggression of Saddam Hussein. Now, after a brilliant military victory, the United Nations is committed to implementing policies to destroy all remaining Iraq chemical and biological weapons and missiles. Although professing good will, indications are that Saddam will attempt to obstruct these efforts. His acts of cruelty toward neighbors demonstrate that he is not trustworthy. The world must now unite in its resolve to disarm Iraq. If not, how can we ever hope to promote and enforce a settlement to the Arab-Israeli conflict?
