I want to say I think a little perspective probably needs to be added to some of the discussions tonight, and I would imagine there is not a person that looks at that hollow Manhattan skyline that does not think of the Twin Towers and where they stood. There are some that remember before the towers were ever built. Certainly, there are those that now know the towers were there and one day something will be built in its place, but I say this just to say that it is far easier to destroy something than it is to rebuild it. And rebuild is, in fact, what America and the coalition forces have been doing in Iraq and in Afghanistan as well, but tonight, we are mostly focused on Iraq. Our military forces have been engaged in a very complex not only war on terror, but also the process of going through and rebuilding. They have been looking for weapons of mass destruction. We keep hearing people saying that it is a failure because the weapons of mass destruction have not been found. I am more concerned because of the fact that they have not been found. Where are they? We know that they existed at one point. We know that Saddam Hussein used them on his own people. We have not found them yet. David Kay said, all we are looking for from a biological standpoint is a vial that is about this big and a two-car garage-size building that could hold 500 chemical warheads in a country, as you have already related, the size of California.
