Why the U.S. should bomb ... why bombing is a bad idea

Article Abstract:

One side argues that Saddam Hussein is breaking the terms of the 1991 gulf-war peace agreement. The cease fire demanded that Saddam Hussein give inspectors access to all sites. Failure to comply with any UN demands is an act of war. However, another position questions whether bombing Iraq accomplishes anything. It will not destroy Iraq's capacity to manufacture weapons of mass destruction.
