>>Maintaining inspections after its determined that the WMD aren't there isn't "searching for something that isn't there", its making sure that the thing isn't created after you have determined it isn't there. Unless you are willing to say, "since you have no WMD now we'll leave you alone and don't care if you produce WMD in the future", the inspections process is inherently open ended. Its never done, except perhaps by failing when the willingness or ability to impose the inspections and sanctions regime falls apart.<< Tim - Apparently our occupation of Iraq is open ended as well. Certainly, an ongoing inspection scheme would have been preferable to the chaos that has caused tens of thousands of deaths, massive destruction to the country's infrastructure, and the creation of a whole new generation of dedicated terrorists around the Muslim world. I suppose you can technically call what Iraq has a "Democracy" simply because it features elections, but when the government's power to rule is derived chiefly from force, including foreign force, and when the people have limited personal liberties and fragile personal security, you don't have what I would call a free, Democratic society. - Allen
