Having started this thread I suppose my 2 cents/pennys worth can be contributed.

1/. Prooving a negative is always difficult.

2/. There exists evidence that the Iraqi "Government" is prepared to use Chemical and Biological warfare, for it has done so in the past.

3/. The pre 98 Weapons inspection team was not allowed free access or inspection, and was expelled.

4/. The super powers seem to be selective in what Un decisions they enforce.

5/. No intelligence report in the public domain can be unsanitised - vide the decrypting of the Japanese 'Purple' code, or 'Enigma'.

6/. There exists a school of opinion that whatever the US of A does is wrong.

I don't know what the answer is - but it frightens me.

My oppinion.

As Wolfgang says, there ius an overwhelming case for complete inspection - and if that is refused ????
