WMD and illegal munitions have been the charges we brought to the UN to illustrate his violation of the post-Gulf accords. If these SCUD attacks are substantiated, it will show that the UN is. . . Well worthless, and in the wrong.

The UN isworthless after a few months of inspections? Was Saddam going to unload his arsenal of WMDs on Kuwait, Israel, and America WHILE inspectors and news media (not to mention heavy American and Israeli intelligence, I'm sure) were there? The UN inspections were not based on the premise that he didn't have illegal weapons, they were based on the premise that IF he has them, or the capabilities to make/get them, then he needs to divvy up and show us the stash, or when we find them, no cake after dinner. We have skipped that part, assumed the unproven, and gone to the scolding. This strikes me as wrong, sorry.
