Where are the weapons of mass destruction?
I do not believe that there are any
because I think Saddam Hussein would have
used them had he had them to protect his
country.
Even if he had them, and decided not to use
them, why would we consider him a threat
to us?
If he had them, he didn’t even use them to
protect his own country.
I don’t believe he would leave them lying
around to use on another rainy day.
Wouldn’t he want to protect his palaces,
if not his own people?
And this crock about weapons being moved
to Syria is just another excuse for our country
to go in and invade.
Remember the recent words, “Iraq may have
biological and chemical weapons.
We suspect that Saddam Hussein has weapons
of mass destruction.”
Now, we suspect Syria has weapons of mass
destruction, and who else will we suspect along
the way?
Maybe Libya, Saudi Arabia, and Egypt?
Here we go again.
How many countries do we need to enter
before we see that they have no weapons of
mass destruction?
Where is the undeniable proof?

Surely, other countries are not going to disarm
so that they can be attacked with no weapons or
way to fight back.
It’s a bit like being raped, and then being asked
to die in bed, naive of what happened, pretending
your a virgin.
I would think that countries like North Korea
would have learned their lesson, and not be willing
to take the same route as Iraq.
In fact, I am afraid that other countries will
decide to get weapons of mass destruction because
they don’t want to be blown up like Iraq.
I am not so sure that our show of strength, and all
our muscle flexing is going to work to our advantage.
It may serve to make others want to prepare.

Iraq threatened and ordered U.S. troops to come
no nearer.
Iraq hoped that we would believe that they had
what they were being accused of.
If you were trying to protect your own people,
wouldn’t you threaten people with what they claimed
they feared most about you?
This was a pathetic attempt of desperate people
trying to survive.
The troops kept coming, and there were no biological, nuclear, or chemical weapons.
They suspected that Iraq might have and could have chemical weapons of mass destruction,
and now, they suspect Syria might have them too.
