i don't see how this is really proof of saddam being a threat to the USA -- did we really go to war over 17 spent shells with traces on sarin gas? if so, has it been worth it? I realize that it's possible that there are more weapons out there which *could* prove that saddam posed some threat to the USA. however, before the invasion the bush administration claimed numerous times that they knew exactly where large stockpiles of weapons in iraq were located -- this is clearly not the case and i'm not willing to forgive that lie, misrepresentation, or bad intelligence just because we've found a very small number of questionable weapons.
to argue that every country that breaks a UN mandate deserves to be invaded is a bit much -- by that standard very few countries would still be sovereign nations.
