We live in a world where a gram vial of anthrax combined with a dvd-r of technical know how could transform medical facilities that could be used to produce flu vaccines into WMD production facilities.
All that is necessary for someone to hide this production capacity is to smuggle a single vial of the culture and this dvd out of the country and delay the weapons inspectors while you kill the viral cultures and replace them with inert medical cultures instead.
Once the weapons inspectors were done you would just have to smuggle this stuff back in the country and you could be back to full production in a less than 2 weeks
Saddam had such medical facilities
Saddam was jerking the weapons inspectors around delaying them an preventing them from search areas they wanted to search.
Invading Iraq is a military deterrent to the next terrorist supporter who jerks the UN Inspectors around.
The bottom line is as long as George Bush is elected again the next time the UN inspectors go in they will be allowed to search what they want, when they want because that leader will fear the same thing happening to them.
Cowboy Diplomacy works. It worked when Regan did it, and it will work when Bush does it.
The only reason it will fail this time is because Bush doesn?t have Regan?s oratory skills and he can?t explain in sound bites why the war was good for the world and short sighted American kick him out of office.
