We are developing the social individualist meta-context for the future. From the very serious to the extremely frivolous... lets see what is on the mind of the Samizdata people.
Samizdata, derived from Samizdat /n. - a system of clandestine publication of banned literature in the USSR [Russ.,= self-publishing house]

Saddam is indeed a threat Glenn Reynolds over on Instapundit already pointed out this post on Indepundit. It deserves to be widely read so I am reiterating it.
If anyone tells you Saddam isn’t really trying to acquire nuclear weapons and isn’t really a threat… tell them to read the above.

Who Are We? The Samizdata people are a bunch of sinister and heavily armed globalist illuminati who seek to infect the entire world with the values of personal liberty and several property. Amongst our many crimes is a sense of humour and the intermittent use of British spelling.
We are also a varied group made up of social individualists, classical liberals, whigs, libertarians, extropians, futurists, ‘Porcupines’, Karl Popper fetishists, recovering neo-conservatives, crazed Ayn Rand worshipers, over-caffeinated Virginia Postrel devotees, witty Frédéric Bastiat wannabes, cypherpunks, minarchists, kritarchists and wild-eyed anarcho-capitalists from Britain, North America, Australia and Europe.

Oh puh-lease. The Iraqi opposition know who’s their daddy (Dubya) and what to say to please him (“Saddam is inventing nuclear anthrax terrorist missiles and he already has them pointed right at the USA”). Uh, yeah, and he also has squadrons of kamikazi flying pigs, prestuffed with unobtainium-nitrate high explosive, to divebomb the infidel. *sigh*
Does the phrase “Peace in our time” mean anything to you, Mr. Morrison?
After the dust has settled, and irrefutable evidence of Saddam’s evil designs has been revealed to the world, can we expect you to come back here and admit that you were wrong?
I am reminded more than anything else of the ostrich, sticking his head in a whole in the ground to avoid seeing anything that might be dangerous.
