It seems to me that folks like myself who bought into that line from the beginning were routinely chastising folks who said there was not wmd and that saddam could be contained. Folks like nadine have been pointing our for some time that there were other reasons just as valid to have taken out saddam. And she makes a good case but so do folks who opposed the war when i was supporting it given the history of the lack of wmd. My prime reason to support the war was the wmd threat and saddams ability to anonymously hand off this stuff to terrorists. Without wmd my support for the iraq war would have been questionable although a UN inspection regimen and then the weakening of sanctions would have troubled me greatly.
On another front, NK said for the first time the other day that elimination of their nukes was on the table. I think they may try to follow the china model although that would be wrenching for them. US needs to separate Asian NK from the axis of evil as it did pakistan. That leaves only iran to deal with and even with the chaos in the sunni triangle, things would have gotten a whole lot better if NK gives up its nuke ambitions for a shot at the brass ring (economic).
