One final note.......they should not let Bush speak on the subject........he just makes things more confused and he acts and sounds very guilty. What makes it more damning is the fact that they have not found any WMDs...that makes the whole case seem bogus and the war avoidable. In other words, it is clear now that those of us who advocated containment through the UN (remember the UN?) were absolutely correct in our position. Of course; now there's a report out that goes ever further by stating that Iraq didn't have the infrastructure to build WMD nor the facilities to keep biochemicals and biodiseases from breaking down. The whole thing was a farce where the Amer. public got snookered big time. Hopefully, both Bush and Blair will get hooked for perpetrating this hoax on their people. ted

What makes it more damning is the fact that they have not found any WMDs This isn't even an issue. When you look at the good that will obviously come out of the war eventually, I think Blair had it right -- even if they were wrong they'll be right in history -- because the cause was a righteous one. There are tons of justifications for our action in Iraq -- first and foremost, Saddam's repeated violations of the UN resolutions -- so pick one. Even taken alone, any number of such reasons were sufficient.
