Are his moustaches really fake?

[Ivo Skoric]

Someone who was born in Harlem and raised in South Bronx 
knows that the best place to hide your stash is in your underwear. 
Because that's the last place where the cops are going to look for 
it when they search your appartment and your person.

Unrestricted access means, however, that there is no such thing 
as "except for the underwear." As it is in the very nature of the 
culture, in which Saddam Hussein was brought up, to try to trick 
and deceive an outsider, it is, also, in the very nature of the 
American culture to call the bluff.

Inspections are all right - if Saddam is trustworthy. But the 
Americans think that even the moustaches on his face are fake, it 
seems. And how can any inspection be conclusive if he really 
wants to hide his stash? Enough smallpox to kill millions can be 
crammed in a space not bigger than a refrigferator in his 
presidential kitchen.

"Truth is confirmed by inspection and delay; falsehood by haste 
and uncertainty." - Colin Powell's favorite Roman historian-
philosopher once wrote. If Saddam wants to be trusted, he will have 
at least to drop the exception of his 8 palaces to the "unrestricted 
access" of UN inspectors. If Bush wants to be respected as a 
world leader, he will have to curb the haste of a part of his 
administration to plunge the world into a new war.

Tacitus also wrote: "The Romans brought devastation, but they 
called it peace."
