Bad news for liberals.

this shouldn't have been a surprise.
the iraqi air force was hidden in the first gulf war too.
WHO CARES if someone has weapons of mass destruction?
i think that all countries should have at least one nuclear weapon, nuclear proliferation breeds stability. the whole point of having WMD is to NOT HAVE TO USE THEM. if anyone did then they would be wiped off the face of the earth. these weapons are a useful deterrent to the escalation of warfare to the point where they might be used. look at the india pakistan situation, they are constantly shooting at each other but never go too far because each knows that the other could do serious damage. is anyone going to invade china or russia for having WMD? i doubt it. using the humanitarian excuse for iraq is a load of shit too when you look at the record of the russians with the chechnyans, recently using chemical weapons against them (kind of like saddam and the kurds) and the chinese against pretty much everybody at some point or another. it is only the little countries which ever get threatened, even during the cold war everything was played out through proxy wars. korea, vietnam, afghanistan etc it looks to me like the only surviving superpower from this era is still desperately attempting to find its place in a multi polar world.
why oh why did the USSR have to collapse everything would have been so much simpler if it remained.
DAMN YOU GORBACHEV!
