Mark,

If we went to war over WMD's that do not exist, one cannot blame the failure of UN inspections to find them for going to war.

If we do find them, the fact that they were not deployed and used speaks to the success of the UN inspections in saving American lives. And all it does say is that the inspectors had not yet found them before the start of the war.

Either way you go, the UN inspections cannot be regarded as a failure.

        That the WMDs were not used so far is entirely because of US policy to make threats mean something. - ebnelson - 4/6/2003 7:53:08 PM
