This is what I find amazing. I don't recall anyone doubting before
the war that Saddam had the weapons, or at least, hadn't accounted for
their destruction.

Given the information we had on hand at the time it was the best
decision. And I still believe we will find weapons, eventually. My
Iranian roommate and I have a bet (nice dinner) that they will, or
won't, be found within a year.

Why does the world hate Bush (and love Clinton)? Because the US is
one of the last conservative (yes, we can really say that) countries
in the world, developed countries at least. It's just a world-wide
political contest no different than the one we have now for 2004. So
you can expect the world to jump on Bush and in the same unfair manner
any democratic wannbe would too.

It's good to question, but it is bad to be unfair and to call each
other names, like fraud and traitor, such as Ted Kennedy did. Can you
imagine what the polital climate would be like if Bush returned fire
using similar terms??? It'd be like a third world country in no time,
politically speaking, and probably economically before too long.
