We didn't go to war with Iraq because they had weapons of mass destruction. We went because they refused to prove that they had destroyed them as was the terms of the end of the last war set down by the United Nations. Unfortunately, the UN has turned out to be nothing more than a yappy, little dog, afraid to back up their own resolutions. It's true, that except for a morter shell containing serin gas (which is a WMD), we haven't found the WMDs we claimed were there. But, we also have not found any evidence that they were destroyed. We know that Iraq had them. They used them on the Kurds more than once. Because of this, I feel the WMD question is still unanswered. This topic has been run into the ground by both sides. I'm tired of hearing people argue about it when no one has any proof of what happened to them either way. But this is a fact. Iraq was required to show proof that their WMDs had been destroyed by the UN. Iraq did not do that. The UN sat on their hands because they are a bunch of miserable cowards who want to sit on their thrones and pretend that the world is a peaceful place and that everyone just wants to get along. I'm glad the US doesn't indulge in such delusions.
Rangerdown, thanks for that link. It's good to hear the whole story. I just hope that was, in fact, the whole story. It seems that some people in government are trying to mess with our heads on this issue. Unfortunatly, if they want to do so, they can. But, I don't blame the shadey government types as much as I blame the idiots that put them there. So, who is trying to sow fear in America?
