Can anyone explain the big deal with WMD? The term itself sounds like nothing more than a media "sound-byte" used for propaganda for the gullible. Every country on earth with an army can be accused of having "Weapons of Mass Destruction". Does this mean that they should be invaded? Israel itself has WMDs, should we be attacking them too? Hussein might be an arsehole, he might be a murderer, he might even be a child molester, but the fact of the matter is that WE do not really know. WE can not condemn someone solely based on what our government tells us without independent proof. Many of these same people who swallow this propaganda are the same ones who believe in the conspiracy behind Kennedy's assassination. If you distrust your government in one case how can you trust it in the other? We owe it to ourselves to QUESTION our government or risk losing our freedom which we cherish so much.
