I do not hold with accepting the possession of WMD by certain types
ineligibility is established by word and/or deed, pretty flexible - err on side of conservatism

1) state clearly proscribed WMD 'development'
2) when identified act immediately without prior notice, warning, or demand
3) insert permanent inspection
4) if the 'host' country is not in full active compliant support (which means incarcerating all responsible), remove existing power structure completely

role of UN: none
as it is a political body incapable of concerted (unpopular) action given its structure
- let the UN become an aid agency

this is what is referred to as a benign dictatorship
as I see it (I am not a sheep, and will not be held hostage - period)

I agree with everything you've said BUT how do you know? To begin enforcing what you've said you must have knowledge (intelligence). You may not know!!!! I'll bet you (as well many others unfortunately) could hide your efforts if you were a Sadamm -like figure. You believe he is insane? Don't confuse that with being stupid.

There are clearly an infinite number of variations to the question. You must end up with an approach/solution to all.

Impossible? Might be! There are ill-posed problems in the world and those dealing with human maybe the most likely. Don't expect logical behavior from those you deal with. (Oh, I forgot that you deal with those of us in the various forums so you do that daily to a certain extent!)
