Sig. Get over it. There are no WMD and WMD had very little if anything to do with the invasion of Iraq. WMD was agreed upon as the reason that would most likely bring a weak-minded public along for the ride. We invaded a bankrupt and largely defenseless country with vast oil reserves that was a thorn in the side of Israel. The threat of WMD was used to panic people into believing that this was an immediate crisis -- and it worked, so long as nobody asked too many questions or gave it much thought. Now we get to spend a small fortune as well as the lives of our soldiers solidifying our "control" of the region through our proxy -- Iraq. With any luck, nobody that you really care about will be sent over there over there during the next ten years or more to risk their lives demonstrating our "dominance" of the region. So far, all we have demonstrated is extreme ignorance of what it means and what it costs to occupy and "dominate" Iraq.
