The point is not whether or not they *ever* existed. We know they existed at
one point because we *gave* some to Iraq. The question was, and continues to
be, did Iraq pose a clear and present danger to the United States?

Iraq dismantled plants and disposed of weapons on hand because it didn't want
inspetors finding them? Let me see...I think that would mean the inspections
were working.

Did Iraq own any delivery system capable of reaching the U.S. Another no.

Is there any proof (not administration assertions, *proof*) that Iraq was
providing material assistance to terrorist organizations. Again, no.

Was Hussein oppressing his people, murdering and torturing them? You better
believe he was. Was this something to take before the world and ask their
assistance in stopping? You better believe it. Is that what we did? No way.

I want my government to give me true, honest reasons for going to war. I want
to be treated like an intelligent, rational person who is capable of listening
to the arguments and making my own decisions. I want my representatives to
listen to my concerns and take them into account when deciding to send my
friends and neighbors into harm's way and I'm not getting any of that.

WMD are where?


Little of them has been found to date. Does that prove to you that they
never existed? Saddam has also not yet been found, by that logic he never
existed.
