To answer Frowning Budah's original question: It does not change my opinion. My feelings before the war were that

1. It was probable that the Saddam regime had some sort of hidden weapons.

2. There was absolutely NO PROOF of the existence of biological or chemical weapons.

We all know that the reasons the US administration gave for leading the war changed a couple of times during the war and the time leading up to it (except if you dig the "war on terrorism" slogan, which seems to like an "all-in-one" reason which includes everything and nothing). If the existence of these weapons was THE reason to lead the war, the US should better have had proof. What convinces me of the fact that no such proof was available, is that neither the UN nor the world public was presented such proof.

Enough said, the war is over, hopefully all parties involved will learn from it...
