Doug R - I think you would be hard pressed to find anyone here who believed that Saddam had none of the weapons he is not supposed to have. You are putting words into our mouths. Many of us do however believe that the most effective way of uncovering them and disposing of them was through the inspection process and that firce should only be considered as an alternative if and when it became clear to the weapons inspectors that no further progress was being made - and the weapons inspectors *did* believe they were still making progress.
