So, where are(were) those WMDs?

Hi,
Thank you, and right back at you :)  As an aside, hope you can make another of those trips soon, some fun was had by all.
Then let us not argue, let us discuss.  :) For I value your opinion and would like to sharpen or change my own on the basis of it.  But if you prefer not to discuss controversial issues with friends, then so be it.  I understand, and will respect your position.

I'll tell you.... My main reason for posting that is simply that I got sick and tired to all the screaming and yelling about the "Bush's lies". I realise what WMD *really* means, and that that was not really it. My position on this whole thing is that I do not think that any of us mortals *really* know what *really* happened and that there very well could have been outside intervention with that whole debacle. As far as the russians.... see, I think that among the so-called civilized countries, both the French and the Russians are not just mostly self-serving (as most countries are), but completely self-serving. They both had secret and not so secret interests in seeing Iraq and S.H. remain where they are. However, the French have not had any cohones for at least 80 and possibly as much as 180 years, so they would not do anything openly threatening against the US. OTOH, while the Russians want to be on our good side for sure, they are still capable of doing whatever it takes to further their interests. So to summarize, my whole point is that we really do not know for sure. The actual tone of the post, is simply a bit of fun and games to needle some people, nothing more. Sometimes, when no one else is doing it, I like to amuse myself ;-)
