Somebody is going to be proved wrong, and soon. The U.S. will soon have 300,000 inspectors inside Iraq. If the Bush Administration can uncover clear evidence of non-cooperation, then everyone who opposed this war is going to look like fools and appeasers. On the other hand, if they don't come up with this evidence, then there was no reason to fight this war. I have looked into my crystal ball, and I have a prediction for you. They will find chemical and bio weapons aplenty, for they will have many Iraqis who will be eager to show the Americans where they are to get into their good graces (smart career move if you used to work for Saddam's weapons programs). But those who didn't believe that Saddam had any WMDs will refuse to be moved. They will mutter that the US staged it all. Because, after all, this argument was never about WMDs or even Saddam in the first place. It was about American power. The prowar camp wanted to extricate American power from an untenable situation trying and failing to contain an irrational regime. The antiwar camp wanted to keep American power tied up and hamstrung. However, some of the undecideds will move into "I guess the war was necessary" camp.
