Up front tonight, Alan will take an in-depth look at the big picture concerning Saddam Hussein and the agreement yesterday by the five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council to revise the sanctions against Iraq, further limiting the flow into the country of military weapons.  A vote by the full council could come as soon as tomorrow.  Why does the United States want to take military action against Iraq?  If the answer is to fight the War on Terror, and not to settle old scores, is President Bush's Mideast policy undermining the effort?  Is his courting the Arab countries at the expense of Israel's War on Terror eroding the moral ground he needs to stand upon that would justify an effort against Iraq?  By what standard does the terrorist label apply to Saddam Hussein but not to Yasser Arafat?  Alan will lay out an overview of the big picture with fiery remarks to open our program this evening.  Then, our panel will debate this sensitive issue.

Up next, the Bush administration told the Supreme Court yesterday that it believes that the right to keep and bear arms applies to individuals, not just to state militias, a significant change in firearms policy that legal analysts say eventually could help form the basis for overturning some restrictions on guns.  Does it make sense to strengthen a law-abiding citizen's right to defend him/herself with a firearm in these dangerous times?  An impassioned debate will ensue!
