Hi Sam; Re all those anti-war people who thought that Saddam had WMDs.

Bush's lie on the WMD issue was not to say that he suspected that Iraq had WMDs, but instead to say that he had conclusive proof of them. Many of the anti-war people are sufficiently patriotic that they couldn't imagine the President of the United States publicly and repeatedly lying about such an important thing. They could see no reason why Bush would have any sort of hidden agenda that would drive him to start an unnecessary war, so of course they believed Bush (and Blair).

As for me, I believe that all humans are fools and liars; I don't trust any of them. The arguments suggesting that Iraq had WMDs were simply not logically consistent, while the arguments that suggested that they'd been destroyed were.
