He didn't use them in '91, because the coalition stopped short of a full invasion, and he didn't have to. He didn't use them in 2003 because he didn't have them. The idea that Saddam could possible pose a serious threat to the USA is so ludicrous that it surpasses the nonsense Hitler used to justify his attack on Poland!
Teribus - Fair enough. I wasn't suggesting that the particular info you offered regarding the WMD's was based on faith. I was suggesting that your general emotional committment (which leads you to seek out certain information and not perhaps seek out other information) is based on a form of faith. That's not just the case with you...it's also the case with me and everyone else...we are all subjective creatures with certain biases. We defend our subjective biases by looking up various forms of objective info and concocting logical arguments which are like a mask that conceals the subjective nature that lies behind it.
I'm just saying that you are analogous to a loyal Roman who defends and justifies the conquests of the Empire, while I am analogous to a free Briton or Gaul who detests the Empire.
As such, you will see good where I see evil, and we will probably seldom agree on the rights and wrongs in a particular conflict.
I know I'm subjective, and I observe it in process as it occurs. Do you know that you also are? I'm not asking that with any disrespect, I'm just wondering if you know it.
Or are you under the impression that you are completely objective?
