Fatmomma,

So, if Saddam is assasinated you think that he will become a martyr and rally more terrorists.

I know this will make you mad at me (please don't!), but it appears you can make a link between Saddam and terrorists.

Think about that...

Terrorists will make anyone a martyr if it advances their cause in recruiting other kamikazes...

Now you are using Powell's flawed logic. Saddam is a despicable human being and certainly capable of using terrorism. That doesn't link him to the terrorists who attacked the WTC.
I think Saddam baited the US deliberately;(offering rewards to terrorist families); then he cooperates with the UN inspectors. I believe, he knew Bush would be hot headed and insist on attacking Iraq; he also counted on the majority of the world would want a peaceful resolve through the inspections. He is probably revelling in the dissension he has brought to the UN. Saddam is winning this propaganda war with the USA because Bush is too bull headed and hot headed to wait until Saddam screws up and shows his true colours.
Why could Bush not wait; get rid of as many weapons as possible(safer for his troops) Then if and when Saddam quit cooperating; the USA would have more world support and justification. Without strong Arab support and world support; it is Mr Bush who is villifying the USA; angering the Arab people thereby bringing more to the terrorist's point of view.
