A CLARIFICATION OF THIS POST
We went into Iraq not because we had proof that they still had WMDs. We went in because they refused to prove in any way that they didn't. I'm not saying they didn't have WMDs, but that it's theoretically possible that they destroyed them and then took the most boneheaded position possible, or maybe that they moved them out of the country. My point is that finding WMDs within the borders of Iraq is not the end-all and be-all of whether what we did in Iraq was right. We went in because Saddam refused to account for the weapons he had. The burden of proof was on them.
