"Can anyone, anywhere, point out any statement by any Democrat, member of the UN, or any person connected with the run-up to the war who said at anytime that there were NOT weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, prior to the conflict?"

To say there were *no* weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, prior to the conflict would have been as irresponsible as it was to say that there *were* WMDs. Nobody knows. The inspectors were not allowed by Mr Bush to complete their inspections.

On the other hand, I am convinced that North Korea does have WMDs, as well as an evil ruler. How many of y'all are for a pre-emptive war against North Korea?

The WMD hassle is ultimately beside the point, except as an indication that you can't trust the government, & some of us knew that anyway.

The war was wrong for the same reason that pre-emptive hanging of people is wrong. It's not good to lynch either good guys or bad guys. Even if you lynch them courageously.
