It appears to have become an article of faith that eventually the inspection process will lead to something of value if only it is allowed to continue indefinitely.

Inspections, in and of themselves, appear to be the goal, not disarmament.

I do fault the US for continuing to say "we know they have WMD" but not doing more.

After hearing Powell say that the new bin Laden tape would show that Al Qaeda and Iraq were in cahoots, but not reading anything that supported that assertion, I am starting to get a bit cynical, I admit. My take is that bin Laden, as always, believes himself to be the God-appointed leader of devout Muslims anywhere and everywhere, which includes Iraq.

In light of the way that English-speaking peoples stick together when the chips are down, I can't fault Muslims for sticking with their own.
