Does anyone seriously believe that Saddam has no WMDs?

debaser, he was temporarily banned (for two weeks, IIRC). After he came back, presumably he asked the mods to change his user name.

I agree that your position is logically consistent, CP. It may even be right. Nobody knows for sure the risks and costs of war and the risks and costs of not going to war.

The position I don’t like is one that says, “It’s too dangerous to let Saddam have WMDs. We’re sure he has them. The inspectors might or might not have the ability to locate them. We’ll do nothing unless the inspectors locate Saddam’s WMDs.” This is not consistency; it’s fecklessness. Unfortunately, I think a big chunk of the UN is on a track that more-or-less represents this position.
