Ivo H. Daalder, PhD Biography |
| Title: |
Permanent Representative to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) |
| Position: |
Pro to the question "Should the US Have Attacked Iraq?" |
| Reasoning: |
"I think the risk that Iraq today poses after September 11th is simply unacceptable. And unless we can find a way short of a major military intervention to get Saddam out in order to take his weapons of mass destruction down, we will have to go in."
