Stop Saddam Hussein now, before it\’s too late. That is the message elected officials, ranging from local members of Congress to President George W. Bush, worked to get across to the Americans these past few weeks.

\”We have to confront him sooner or later,\” Rep. Howard Berman (D-Mission Hills) told The Journal. \”Even though it is risky and we are worried about all the things that could go wrong, it is less risky, less costly and less dangerous to do it now than it would be later, both for our military and for the Iraqi people.\”
