This WMD debate is zero-sum game .......... The consensus seems to be these days that it was a mistake to have invaded Iraq because no weapons of mass destruction have been found. That argument bootstraps a fallacious premise--i.e. that invading Iraq would have been justified had there been such weapons. I categorically disagree with that premise. When the first President Bush had the opportunity to take out Hussein in the aftermath of the Gulf War and he chose not to do so, the decision was printed in stone that Hussein was simply to be contained. For a decade he was effectively contained. Granted, he continued to be a monster to his own people. But that was not the responsibility of the United States to alter. We are not the Pope. We have lost almost 1000 soldiers (many more maimed), our treasury has been pillaged, a gathering ground for Islamic fundamentalists has been established, and we have been subjected to international scorn based on a fallacious premise. This is the most ludicrous international misadventure in my lifetime. God, I hope we send these idiots packing in November. /john
