"But the gap between the “imminent threat” rationale given for going to war and the postwar reality has turned out to be gargantuan.

So gargantuan, in fact, that one of the administration’s most important and influential supporters, The Economist magazine, a global publication read by world’s elite, felt the need this week to apologize and publish a special report on the implications of the fact that no weapons of mass destruction have been found.

“No matter, some British and American officials imply: The war is won, and there are bigger things to worry about,” the magazine wrote. “They are wrong: on the vindication of the prewar claims about Iraq’s illegal arsenal hangs public trust in government; the practicality of the doctrine of pre-emptive war; and much besides.”
