Brian,

re: It wasn't up to us to prove anything. The burden of proof was on Hussein, and he failed to deliver.

Maybe, technically, but to the UN. And if you go that route then it was technically up to the UN to act on it's resolution.

The burden of proof for a unilateral action, with the human, political and economic sacrifice this country has endured, was and is a higher threshold. 500+ kids, 10,000+ Iraqi civilians, when we were just plain wrong about the justification, is proof that the bar was set way too low.

re: Having any question of the presence of WMD was unacceptable from a security standpoint, and Bush did his duty.

That's a different discussion.
