So I am now alowd to post about the war, right?

So Saddam Hussein was oppressing his people's right to free speech.
And now people taking to the streets to express their right to dislike the military patroling their streets are shot.

We have restored power, water and made hospitals a priority.
It was us who cut off their power, water and made hospitals overflow with injured and sick in the first place.

Finding weapons of mass destruction is not a priority.
The weapons which were the main reason we invaded Iraq in the first place. The weapons which if Saddam Hussein wasn't about to use on us, then he would be selling to the highest terrorist bidder who would.

The same weapons which he singly failed to employ whilst his country was being invaded. The weapons whose whereabouts we still have no idea about, and yet if they are there, there are other people other people do. These other people are most likely part of a routed and deposed beaurocracy, their lives may well be on the infamous 'most wanted list', these people are fugitives and most likely desperate. And these people know where the weapons are.

What exactly is going to make it less likely for these people to sell the weapons of mass destruction on to the highest terrorist bidder?

I still believe the war was the wrong solution to a bad situation. In fact I don't think it was a solution, the can of worms it has opened is too complex to outline in a short entry.

'and yet if they are there'
I discovered something interesting the other day about why Colin Powell was so certain there were chemical and biotoxic weapons in Iraq but couldn't produce proof for the UN -- Reagan GAVE Hussein those very weapons during the Iran Contra. Of course he can't admit that they're US weapons; the credibility of their little disarmament whining would go down the tubes even further... and yet another reason why I really don't trust that damn government.
