Iraq had to PROVE they didn't have something by destorying arms they didn't even have, basically. It was impossible to do, and an illogical stance (what a surprise) from Bush & Co.
Uh, you are leaving out one salient point. The Iraqi government fought inspections tooth and nail. If they didn't have any WMDs, why didn't they just throw the doors open?
Now we're asking, "well, if they were lying, why not plant weapons?" As if they HAD planted weapons, you people would even believe the story! You'dbe denouncing it as conspiracy theory until the day you die. How hypocritical!
I have NO IDEA what you are saying here, could you please restate?
For the same reason that you don't let the cops come into your house any time that they want to toss it.
That having been said, I'm sure that there are WMD in Iraq. They're probably just buried in the desert somewhere...benign environment like that, they'll last for a long time. It's like looking for a specific needle in a stack of needles. I'm just glad that the adults are in charge now and we can be fairly sure that we'll get to the bottom of it.
