Nadine, the fact that we don't know what was in some trucks which supposedly went to Syria doesn't mean it was WMDs. It might have been a big load of US$. Or other valuable stuff Saddam's gang wanted to stash. Or people who didn't want to get caught [which would be a lot of people]. Or Syrian supporters and their stuff. I guess there were quite a lot of Syrians in Iraq who decided not being there would be better than waiting for the denouement, which Uday, Qusay and Saddam did. There weren't any WMDs worth discussing and that was fairly obvious before the war. The USA has goofed on invading Iraq, though the price of oil has meant vast profits for Exxon, BP, Shell, Saudi Arabia, nuclear reactor operators and other competitors of Iraq. The Greenhouse Effect doomsters would say it's a good thing that Iraq's production was shut down, forcing a price rise and a search for alternatives and renewables. It's an ill wind that blows nobody good. Mqurice
