we could split hairs on "choose" vs "allow". and we may agree to disagree. IMHO, a population chooses to allow whatever regime only so long as it does not it harm that in non-repairable. push comes to shove, a population will choose not to allow a regime to continue. Agreed, though I would add that size of population and the brutality of a regime are serious factors impacting whether that choice could be made. BTW, I believe those empty shells are the tip of the iceberg. One is not expected to have them preloaded with chem weapons. They'd be useless if they were and left around for about 10 years. Agree on that as well, since the warheads were clearly well maintained and ready to be "loaded" (not just "forgotten") I am confused why Blix does not feel they should be included in his report to the UNSC. More and more, Blix's words and actions become suspect.
