So how does this work?
The US weapons team looking for weapong of mass destruction in Iraq appear to have come up blank. You'd think that this might send the US and UK governments into some kind of state of self questioning. But no, the fact that he wanted them and might have lied about them is a case for war, at least according to Jack Straw. So, the existence of the US biological weapons program which no one is allowed to see must be reason to invade the US, right? Well, wrong because as we all know any country trying that would get nuked. Or in the modern scheme of things, have massive trade sanctions imposed on it.
I guess I can't believe that these politicians who were so certain a while back can be so blase about it now. Unless of course the WMD were just a convenient excuse to get their hands on the oil and to turn oil into construction contracts for US companies and therefore recycle Iraq's natural resources into the US in the form of money. But that would just be cynical of me.... A very large part of me believes that there should be trials for crimes against humanity and if Saddam Hussein is going to be in the dock, then George W and Tony should also face the same level of scrutiny.
