>>The Iraqis cooperate and the inspectors find nothing<< Continuing with the difference between engineers and lawyers -- one of the ways lawyers decide if something is true is inference. I don't believe that engineers are allowed to use inference. So, let us, the lawyer and the engineer, analyze the problem of the head of a country who could have been free of UN sanctions which, he alleges (and you allege) have killed over a million of his people. But. He must allow UN inspectors to go throughout his country and certify that there are no weapons of mass destruction. And. He resists doing this for many years until finally the head of another country tells him in no uncertain terms that if he does not comply he will die, and many of his people will die. I, as a lawyer, infer from his behavior that he must have something to hide. Something of great value to him. Something which is worth all the dead people. Something which is worth the incredible burden and humiliation of sanctions, no fly zones, and the like. What could he be hiding? Now, how do engineers solve the problem of the dog which did not bark?
